You are the CEO of your own life. You can establish the new rules that will help you to achieve the right balance between your work and the rest of your life, so you can make your life easier, better, and happier.
At the same time, as an employer, you must retain and maximize the performance of your best employees, who are also in control of their own lives.
In our summary of The CEO of Me: Creating A Life That Works In the Flexible Job Age, by Ellen Ernst Kossek and Brenda A. Lautsch, you’ll learn the ideas and tools that will help you to make flexibility work for you, rather than against you.
The authors are leading North American researchers on work and personal life balance. Kossek is professor of human resource management and organizational behavior at Michigan State’s School of Labor and Industrial Relations. Lautsch is associate professor of management and organization studies at Simon Fraser’s Faculty of Business Administration.
Together, they’ve developed an approach that will help you to identify the work and life pattern that you currently fit into, and how to move toward one that’s more productive and comfortable for you, one step at a time. You’ll learn how to leverage the work options that best suit your needs, and make the practical changes that lead to true fulfillment both on and off the job.
