JUNE - JULY 2024CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM8CXO InsightsIN MY VIEWhe end of the year often presents a host of paradoxical emotions: holidays to spend time with cherished friends and family, while those same holidays can bring longing and grief for those we've lost over the years. The exhilaration of reaching a quarterly goal and the challenge and burnout that comes with pushing to that goal. But we and our teams live in a constant state of paradox throughout the year.

There is no hermetic seal to close up and cocoon away our teams from the stressors in the world, both macro (think: wars, pandemics, recessions) and micro (think: death of a loved one, failed project, missed promotion) that create a paradox to joys that also are a large part of our workplace and lives.
