In today's busy entrepreneurial landscape, working hard is, of course, one of the key waysleadersdifferentiate themselves. And certainly, diligent effort can be a good thing: Working 12-hour days or seven-day weeks — at least once in a while — might be just the push a business needs, but you can't do it successfully for very long. Knowing when to allow this type of output — and when to stop — is integral to the success of a company and its team members.

It's beyond important to identify when team members are sacrificing their well-being for the sake of a project because the reality is that depression and anxiety can have a critical impact on the bottom line.
