Confusion is the culprit

Burnout gets blamed on busy calendars and long hours. But at Foss, we’ve seen something deeper at play: confusion. When your team doesn’t know what’s expected, what matters most, or how success is measured, they start spinning—and fast. That kind of mental friction drains more energy than any deadline. It kills morale, momentum, and retention.

We coach leadership teams to simplify, prioritize, and communicate like it actually matters. We build operating systems that make expectations clear and progress visible. When teams know where they’re going—and why—they move faster, perform better, and stay engaged. Tired teams don’t need more snacks or slack channels. They need leadership with a backbone and a plan.
