Four Signs of a Workaholic

According to this month's (Nov. 2007) issue of Fortune you are a workaholic if: 1) You and your spouse fight about your hours; 2) your kids stop inviting you to their birthday parties; 3) your employees sneak out of work; and 4) you work when ill; this information was gained from testimony by Dominic Orr who is a reformed workaholic and took three months off with a spiritual coach after 20 hour days and working on another continent from his family.

Flatter organizations are retraining their managers to become coaches to their subordinates; rather than play "cop" or "caretaker" for their "troops" supervisors are being trained as coaches to provide a collegial relationship that relies on mentoring and role modeling where ownership is passed down to entry level workers.
