Florian Mantione is not only a business leader but also a creator of social connections, a facilitator, and a humanist. ReKrute.com, always on the lookout for new trends, has taken a strong interest in the life of this idea agitator who subtly reveals certain realities of corporate life through a selection of articles that we will share with you in the coming weeks.
Professional hyperactivity is often considered by psychoanalysts as a defense mechanism against anxiety.
What is the hyperactive person, called a workaholic in the USA, looking for? Job satisfaction, recognition, higher pay?
The workaholic only thinks about their work, risks neglecting other activities, and may be acting out of compensation.
They should not be confused with a bulimic person, who neglects nothing because, being hyperactive, they devote a lot of time to many activities: work, family, leisure, community life... and always finds time for their many commitments.
We often hear the desire to separate professional life from private life. This is a delusion because a person doesn't live in slices of life: the father, the husband, the employee, the athlete, the elected official... They live all these lives at the same time because, during the day, the employee will inevitably think about other things (when they are not on the phone for other things...) and, in the evening, or even at night, they will think about their work. Their community activity, for example, will nourish their role as a manager and vice versa.
What is surprising is that the more you do, the more you can do... And the less you do, the less available you are...
A happy manager will be a father who listens more to their children and a husband who is more present for their spouse. A balanced father and husband will be better at their job.
In fact, there are no recipes. It's up to each person to find their own balance, their own satisfaction in calm or hyperactivity.
What should be avoided is feeling guilty about your pace, about what you think you are neglecting.
Since work occupies a central place in our society, rather than imagining a professional project, it is better to build a real life project with a slider to move differently depending on everything that makes up your life. Without neglecting spirituality...
And one good piece of advice: be yourself!
