Why The 8-Hour Workday Doesn't Work

Why The 8-Hour Workday Doesn't Work | KILUVU | Scoop.it

The eight-hour workday WDAY -0.71% is an outdated and ineffective approach to work. If you want to be as productive as possible, you need to let go of this relic and find a new approach.

 

The eight-hour workday was created during the industrial revolution as an effort to cut down on the number of hours of manual labor that workers were forced to endure on the factory floor. This breakthrough was a more humane approach to work 200 years ago, yet it possesses little relevance for us today.

 

Like our ancestors, we’re expected to put in eight-hour days, working in long, continuous blocks of time, with few or no breaks. Heck, most people even work right through their lunch hour!

Kids Benefit From Having a Working Mum

Kids Benefit From Having a Working Mum | KILUVU | Scoop.it

Here's some heartening news for working mothers worried about the future of their children.

 

Women whose moms worked outside the home are more likely to have jobs themselves, are more likely to hold supervisory responsibility at those jobs, and earn higher wages than women whose mothers stayed home full time, according to a new study. Men raised by working mothers are more likely to contribute to household chores and spend more time caring for family members.

 

The findings are stark, and they hold true across 24 countries.

 

"There are very few things, that we know of, that have such a clear effect on gender inequality as being raised by a working mother," says Kathleen L. McGinn, the Cahners-Rabb Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, who conducted the study with Mayra Ruiz Castro, a researcher at HBS, and Elizabeth Long Lingo, an embedded practitioner at Mt. Holyoke College.

Don't Be a Leader: Just Lead

Don't Be a Leader: Just Lead | KILUVU | Scoop.it

There are leaders and there are those who lead. Leaders hold a position of power or authority, but those who lead inspire us. Whether they're individuals or organizations, we follow those who lead, not because we have to, but because we want to. We follow those who lead, not for them, but for ourselves.


- Simon Sinek

The idea of being a leader always appealed to me. I held my first management position at 22, leading a small production team in a bookbindery. I loved being in charge--making decisions and trying to motivate my team. But one day, I heard a comment I've never forgotten. After chastising a line worker for a mistake, he snapped back:

You know, you're the type of manager the rest of us hate.

Powerful concept, and it rings true in practice.

I like the 6 suggestions. It actually comes down to this. If you want to be a better leader, become a better human being

Why the Best Companies Always Have the Best Customer Service

Why the Best Companies Always Have the Best Customer Service | KILUVU | Scoop.it

I have never heard of anyone who has had a bad customer experience with Amazon, Apple, Costco, or Salesforce. The aforementioned companies are incredibly successful due, in large part, to a material focus on the customer experience. Not surprisingly, the stock market has handsomely rewarded these four companies over the past decade. 

 

Amazon is so customer focused that it will literally send you a replacement for a lost package immediately without ever implying that the customer is at fault. The result is a consumer experience that is so optimal that Amazon is the only place where many consumers decide to shop online. 

 

The same can be said for Apple when it comes to the in-store experience. Apple employees are so passionate about the products that I feel like I am talking to a polite tech enthusiast in the Apple stores and not Apple employees. The result is incredibly brand-loyal customers.

It can take 30+ years to build a brand and just a handful of poor customer experiences to destroy it.

Study: Kids Who Talk Back Are Likely to Be More Successful

Study: Kids Who Talk Back Are Likely to Be More Successful | KILUVU | Scoop.it

There's now vindication for troublesome kids everywhere: Studies show that children with more troublesome traits become more successful adults. While we might have driven our parents up the wall, for many of us, our bad attitudes and misbehavior might have made us better entrepreneurs.

 

Of course, that all depends on how well you channel your wild child past into being a more productive adult. You have to transition your problematic behavior into successful traits. And as anyone who knows how good it feels to be bad, that's easier said than done.

 

Here are three things you did as a kid that made your parents cringe, but that can now make you a stronger, more prosperous entrepreneur.

1. Adolescents who talk back are more successful adults.
