Title: Finding Time: How Corporations, Individuals, and Families Can Benefit from New Work Practices by Leslie A. Perlow ISBN: 0801484456 Publisher: Cornell Univ Pr Pub. Date: 1997 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |

Rating: 5
Summary: Contains Constructive Ideas for Work Process Improvement
Comment: While this book explores work-family issues, it also gives concrete suggestions about how to improve management processes and allow workers more personal time without decreasing productivity. Essentially, the thesis of the book is that workers that can work uninterrupted for a significant period each day are more productive and efficient. This thesis is supported by a study done by the author at a Fortune 500 company named "Ditto" (probably Xerox in real life).
However, a depressing aspect of the book is that once higher productivity is achieved, Ditto Corp just piles on more work! Anyone who has worked in a high-stress, tight-deadline environment will be able to identify with the situations in this book.
In terms of action orientation, I found this book better than "Time Bind" by Arlie Hochschild. It also leaves out the liberal politics. Give it as an anonymous gift to the the CEO of your company!
