We all know that doctoring is hard work, and we all know that physicians are at high risk for burnout.

 

But here’s one of the questions I’m obsessed with: 

​

• If 2/3 of doctors are burned out (or on their way), who are the 1/3 of doctors who feel energized at work?

• What can we learn from them, and what can they teach us about improving the way we work, even in careers outside of medicine?

I’ve spoken to many high performers in health care, business, law, computer science, and other fields who describe themselves as feeling strong and energized at work. I love learning from these individuals, and I'm so excited to share some of their common strategies for success.

​

One of the key lessons I’ve learned is that a strong career has three organ systems: vision, heart, and muscles.  In other words, for a strong, energized career, you need to focus on

• Strategy (vision)

• Purpose (heart)

• Energy management (muscles)
