Mobile technology – laptops, smartphones, and now tablets – are becoming increasingly common at work.

It’s called BYOD – bring your own device – and Brandon Smith explains how it can further blur the already fuzzy line between work and personal life.

Brandon Smith teaches about leadership, communication, and workplace culture at Emory University's Goizueta Business School. More of his advice is on his blog and at theworkplacetherapist.com. And while you’re there, ask him your workplace or career question. We might use your question on a future radio segment.
