CM 260: Malissa Clark Asks, Are You a Workaholic‪?‬ Curious Minds at Work

There’s more to being a workaholic than working long hours. Consider what motivates you to work more. Where you’re spending your energy. Think about the impact those longer hours have on family and friends.



These are some of the distinctions Malissa Clark makes in her book, Never Not Working: Why the Always-on Culture is Bad for Business and How to Fix it. She not only shares a helpful framework for thinking about workaholism but gives us ways to recognize it. Equally helpful, she explains steps we – and our organizations – can take to undo it.



Malissa’s book is a great resource for assessing workaholic tendencies and for changing them – as individuals, teams, and organizations.
