Comments about ‘Balance must be a priority for both executives and employees’

The priority of many US CEO's appears to be make ridiculous amounts in salary, bonus, stock options and other benies while laying off middle class workers to ship their jobs to other countries, which enables the CEO to make even more money. What a messed up world big business is these days. How much is enough?

A fourth element that never gets discussed is the workers and what business and companies owe them? Executives expect that workers are robots and should act and behave like robots. Any company that expects a 100% productivity is a 100% guaranteed to fail. No worker or human can or should be expected to be slaves under slavery expectations. The fact the humans are not and cannot be 100% productive is what makes or brakes a business.

Technology can be a disaster for many businesses if they focus too much on it and not enough on their purpose of manufacturing and products produced. Every time technology, time, and effectiveness in introduced, quality is sacrificed. China has become dominant world producer only because companies willfully sacrificed their brand and quality to raise profit. Profit does not create jobs or build an economy, workers do. Company failures and loss of profits and jobs are proportional to wages and benefits they pay their employees.

Corporate america has turned itself upside down and their anti worker actions are proving the fatal blow to the economy of America.

This is a great article! It supports what I teach in my leadership program - the success of the business and the lives of those who serve in it, are influenced by the leader's ability to take control of their own life and be an empowered leader in all areas. When employees are balanced, they have more joy, and more joy increases confidence, and that increase productivity and willingness to stretch their comfort zones and drive the vision forward. Work/Life balance - win-win for everyone!
