"I'm a workaholic recovered," he admits Jullien Gordon , a nationally recognized, on their website company spokesman. Workaholism, said in a 2014 message from LinkedIn , as high - but they are, in fact, nothing of the sort.

Gordon has in years of research and conducting experiments on himself to understand the difference between workaholism and high performance. It was noted that, although it "is, the big difference of the way in which the individual feels inside are [report] for their work" as hard work out, he said.

A prominent player works hard in "healthy and sustainable way and feel happy and inspired," he added.
Meanwhile, a workaholic "unhealthy untenable hard work and miserable and burned."

Three other subtle differences between workaholics and efficient:

1. Successful companies know their value, but Workaholics allow others to determine their value

"An outstanding player knows their self-esteem and can therefore operate with a sense of freedom," Gordon wrote.

They make regular self-assessments of their performance so that they can constantly improve. And he says: "Create Individual feedback loops instead of the comments of others are waiting."

A workaholic, but based on the external validation of the people around them, bosses, colleagues and clients. external evaluations, such as half and year, are expected to understand how they do what they work with a constant feeling of anxiety.

2. The artists give 100% at the right time, but workaholics give 110% all the time

Gordon said that a better performance if you know "Turn It Up". You know when it is to be expected or required anything they have to give - and save their energy for these occasions.

"I do not buy into the illusion of a 110%," he wrote in the message on LinkedIn. "You know that 110% is not sustainable. Instead, concentrate your ability to increase your 100% is better than the competition 110% to make."

A workaholic trying all the time to go for it: "They are struggling to decide what is important, therefore, all that is important in their minds."

He told Business Insider: "not always win the biggest workers, but the winner works harder."

3. Successful companies do business, but workaholics are occupied

The main objective of the improved performance is to do business. "Everything I care about results," Gordon wrote.

He continues:

If they can not provide a way value at which facilitate or to develop strategies in place to see. You know, like the economy, the society comes in waves, are therefore prepared for the gap, so that they can benefit from the profits.

Objective 1 is a workaholic to be busy at all times - as they believe that the busier they are, or seem more important than it should be.

"Workaholics fill all the space occupied at the time with the work, because they feel threatened nothing to do," LinkedIn said. "The uncertainty is not to know of its value."
