As an individual, you know the best thing that you can do is to really take good care of yourself. I mean that in particular, not just in terms of the kinds of things you do, which matter: getting more social connection, making sure you have some free time, but also to think about how you're structuring your relationship with work.

Often, we bring the best of ourselves to work and leave the leftovers for everything else: for our families, for leisure, and so on. If you're really putting too much of your identity emphasis on work, that's the kind of thing that can lead to burnout. Because those values feel like they matter so much to you, it's all of your identity that's wrapped up in this. When there's a mismatch, it can hit you even harder.

Organizationally, I think different industries need to pay a lot of attention to burnout. One of the main ways to fix burnout is to make some changes to people's workloads, to people's sense of values, and to the rewards that people are getting. Those changes are really essential steps to treating burnout once it's there.
