Does it "have" to be this way?
Can''t resist checking your smartphone or mobile device? Sure, all
this connectivity keeps you in touch with your team and the
office--but at what cost?
In "Sleeping with Your Smartphone," Harvard Business School
professor Leslie Perlow reveals how you can disconnect and become
more productive in the process. In fact, she shows that you can
devote more time to your personal life "and" accomplish more at
work.
The good news is that this doesn''t require a grand organizational
makeover or buy-in from the CEO. All it takes is collaboration
between you and your team--working together and making small,
doable changes.
What started as an experiment with a six-person team at The Boston
Consulting Group--one of the world''s elite management consulting
firms--triggered a global initiative that eventually spanned more
than nine hundred BCG teams in thirty countries across five
continents. These teams confronted their nonstop workweeks and
changed the way they worked, becoming more efficient and
effective.
The result? Employees were more satisfied with their work-life
balance and with their work in general. And the firm was better
able to recruit and retain employees. Clients also benefited--often
in unexpected ways.
In this engaging book, Perlow takes you inside BCG to witness the
challenges and benefits of disconnecting. She provides a
step-by-step guide to introducing change on your team--by
establishing a collective goal, encouraging open dialogue, ensuring
leadership support--and then spreading change to the rest of your
firm.
If you and your colleagues are grappling with the "always on"
problem, it''s time to disconnect--and start reading.
