Work Less (It's Good for Business) Adapting And Grow
It was a move that almost sounded like a death wish. Entrepreneurs are notorious for working obsessively, and getting any startup off the ground requires a round-the-clock commitment. Or so the prevailing wisdom goes. But Schklar decided he was going to do things differently. In February 2006, just four months after he was rushed from his Seattle hotel room to a nearby hospital, he launched the Market Creation Group, a Denver-based business-to-business technology marketing firm, and he did it while working less. Today the business is thriving and growing, and Schklar is living proof that what the work/life experts tell us and what we never quite believe — that paying more attention to our lives outside of work makes us better workers — is actually true.
Good article on work/life balance and a case study that flies in the face of conventional wisdom. There are some good ideas and examples here that you can use in 2010.
