Most New Managers tend to be high achievers and if they are not already then they want to be one …
It is a commonly held belief among most high achievers that to be a high achiever they must work for a long and work hard.
What happens as a result of this?
They do not realize that they are on an unsustainable path.
By working for long hours and working hard they become overwhelmed and burned out.
Despite all their success, if this is not checked in time, they may end up stressed, burnt out, lonely, and unhappy and never get to enjoy all they work so hard to achieve.
Your emotions also have a big role to play in your productivity. They impact your productivity and motivation.
