I think there might be something here. I've written about it and I wonder whether the current interpretation of Agile is just another manifestation of our can-do, 'get-ahead', 'achievement society'- - which is perhaps the ultimate cause of burnout. As someone who has tried to promote agile mindsets within organisations, it's deeply concerning.
