Very interesting article Corri. I agree with a lot of it. From my perspective I feel I am very successful and respected in my profession but a little voice inside of me says I've got to keep all the plates spinning or else it will all crash down on me. Consequently I take on more and more until I either emerge the hero because I do what others cannot, or the goat because I run out of bandwidth.
I'm glad you liked it... and again, I don't think it holds just for men. I see a lot of 'supermom's' in this role. Seems to me it goes along with the 'people pleaser' syndrome, or the NMMNG stuff... have you read any of that?
