Maybe Fairness is the Oxygen in Teamwork

If fair teamwork is the flame that keeps organisations alive, then burnout may
be what happens when that flame is starved of oxygen.
Fair teamwork gives an organisation energy, warmth, movement, and shared purpose.

Fairness is the oxygen. Without it, the flame weakens. People may still be present, still performing, and still trying, but the conditions that sustain their contribution begin to disappear.

That is why maybe burnout should not be treated only as an individual failure of resilience. It can also be a sign that the surrounding conditions are no longer sustaining the people expected to keep the flame alive.
