For workaholics, all the eggs of self-esteem are in the basket of work.

Judith M. Bardwick

The message to organizations is this: You have to increase the number of categories of contributing, or the types of career paths, which people can experience as successful. You cannot restrict esteem to the fewer and fewer who will be climbing up the management ladder. You need to have the majority of your people feeling like winners.

Judith M. Bardwick
