Age-old question.
What do you think? What’s your opinion?
“It depends,” is the first thing that comes to mind. Mostly the long hours are worth it. If.
If?
Yes, if.
If it drives your ego, your title, your salary, your corner office, your feeling of self-worth – then no.
If it drives your ability to make a difference: to expand your reach, your relevance, your impact – then yes.
The challenge, when you’re insanely busy, is to not confuse the two.
Any one need a quarter?
