Are You a Workaholic or a High Performer?: Know the Difference

In Business Insider, corporate speaker Jullien Gordon tells the differences between a high performer who works in a healthy way, and the workaholic who risks getting burned out.


Gordon says that a high performer knows when to "turn it up." They know when they're expected or required to give everything they have — and they save their energy for those occasions.

"They don't buy into the illusion of 110%," he writes in the LinkedIn post. "They know that 110% is unsustainable. Instead they focus on increasing their capacity so that their 100% is better than the competition's 110%."

A workaholic attempts to go all out all the time: "They have difficulty prioritizing what's important, therefore, everything is important in their mind."

He tells Business Insider: "The hardest worker doesn't always win, but the winner does work harder."
