Always-On Is Not Leadership
Workaholism gets rewarded early and quietly costs everything later.
Workaholism is the most socially accepted addiction there is.
You get praised for it. Rewarded for it. And slowly wrecked by it.
The same drive that makes you dangerous in business will eat your relationships alive if you don’t contain it.
Presence doesn’t happen by accident. Neither does rest.
High performers don’t need less ambition. They need better on/off switches.
A ritual when you get home. A phone-off window. A clear end to the workday, even if the work isn’t done.
If you’re with your family but mentally still at work, no one wins. You’d be better off just staying late.
Boundaries aren’t weakness. They’re how you sustain intensity without burning everything down.
