Burnout is often understood to affect people who have spent too many hours in the office, but more often it occurs because of a frustration with the status quo and a growing conviction that in your current role, you are no longer able to make a significant contribution. Many large companies and increasingly churches and Christian organisations are coming to realise the benefits of encouraging their people in leadership positions to take a sabbatical.
So how do I know if a sabbatical is right for me? How do I go about requesting it and how can I most effectively use the time?
The four articles below are the the result of a sabbatical I took myself in the summer of 2013. As the posts are listed in chronological order with the latest at the top, I recommend you scroll down to part 1 and begin there.
I trust this will be a help to those who strongly sense the need for some time out.
