Me too, yet it changed with my diagnosis and COVID lockdown. I had a really open and frank discussion with my current employer, about who I am, what I can help with, but also the darker sides and how I’m not a magical creator and operator in one. They seem to accept that. That again gives me freedom to define the point I can exit my i initiatives, and have others take over. After 40 cycles around Sol, I know when burnout hits, and call the exit just before that. The second thing is making it clear that I need downtime. That is not a leave, but usually spent wandering the company, diagnosing and ideating. Then, when recharged I propose new initiatives and on it goes. This way of working has reignited my entrepreneurial side, to the extent that I’m starting a venture studio with the majority owner of the company, to make that process unbounded from the main company.
