WORKAHOLISM, The Well Dressed Addiction (Part 2)

The following contradicts some of the myths surrounding workaholism.

1. Work addiction doesn’t originate in high-powered jobs.
Although it can be fostered in today's high-pressured work place, workaholism is a psychological problem first and foremost.A homemaker can be a workaholic.

2. Workaholics don't make the best employees.
Here are some reasons why:

They are not team players (They believe they can do a better job than their co-workers can)

They are not well rounded (There is no balance in their lives)

They are not efficient (They become so obsessed with details they have trouble seeing the larger outcome, therefore taking 12 hours to do a six hour job)

They can't see the big picture (They are too task oriented)

They are arrogant (Along with a nagging insecurity, they think they can do the best job and therefore don’t listen to other workers)

They are control junkies (They believe their approach is the best)

They are narrow thinkers (They're so obsessed with the task that they loose sight of creativity)

They can't delegate (They take on too much, don't know when to quit and become burnout's, often suffering from fatigue and mental distraction)

Their standards are too impossible to meet (Workplace morale dies)

They don't always produce a high quality product (They spin their wheels in getting one thing perfect and other tasks can fall to the wayside/ or their exhaustion can affect their mental alertness which leads to mistakes)
