Description
Working 24x7? Delaying life until it's too late? You have the ability to help your customers stop! Having it All ... and Making it Workis a fast-paced, easy-to-use book offering readers a new pathway towards managing personal life and professional life--without sacrificing either one of them. This book isn't just more whining and exhortation: it delivers specific, bite-sized, no-fluff solutions for managing one's life, including crucial execution steps readers can take immediately. Mills teaches readers how to identify and balance what's most important to them--and give up what they don't want badly enough. Mills shows how to make the balance real, not just talk; how to make career decisions that promote balance; and how to make course corrections that refine the reader's balance over time. Mills also exposes the potentially disastrous myths and rationalizations many people use to avoid the realities of work/life imbalance--fallacies like "I'll devote all my time to work for 15 years, get rich, and then I'll pay attention to family." Mills' breakthrough work/life courses at the Harvard Business School are helping business people find the balance they're searching for. The techniques he's developed will help anyone struggling to get a grasp on the work/life balance.
