Leadership Burnout Is Borderless: Why We’re All Tired of Pretend Leaders

Let’s be honest: whether you’re in Austin, Nairobi, Joburg, Accra, or Lusaka, the frustration sounds the same.
“I’m doing three people’s jobs.”
“My boss only shows up to take credit.”
“There’s no growth, just gossip.”
“No one’s listening, but everyone’s talking.”
We might speak in different accents, but the exhaustion? That’s universal.
Different Continents, Same Corporate Nonsense
In the U.S., it’s toxic hustle culture and performative productivity. In Africa, it’s rigid hierarchies and gatekeeping in the name of “respect.”
In both? It’s leaders stuck in the past while the world moves forward, fast.
It’s not just a bad boss problem.
It’s a broken leadership model problem.
The kind that rewards status over service.
Noise over nuance.
Control over connection.
And people, especially the smart, driven, purpose-led ones, are walking away.
What Today’s Professionals Want (But Rarely Get)
We’re not asking for perfect workplaces. We’re asking for:
✅ Real feedback, not office politics
✅ Leaders who mentor, not monitor
✅ Systems that reward thinking, not just task-ticking
✅ Cultures where well-being isn’t just a poster on the wall
Whether you’re building a startup in Texas or trying to break into management in Kenya, the hunger is the same:
We want leadership that’s human. And workplaces that feel like growth, not survival.
