When "Going above and Beyond" goes too Far

Oooh boy - This is a phrase frequently used often in coffee to determine whether or not an employee is exceptional or not. It is also a mentality that we use on ourselves to determine if what we are doing is worthy of praise or earning our keep. Going above and beyond may be a nice and generous thing to do, the problem though is when becomes a tool to unfairly judge employees and to unfairly judge ourselves. I and many others have suffered under unreasonable standards that have been both imposed by bosses and self-imposed out of insecurity. Today we will be discussing how this manifests and what to do to avoid "going above and beyond" to the detriment of yourself and others.  Related Episodes: 200! : From Tragedy to Triumph!
