Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson show that \u003ci\u003eeveryone\u003c\/i\u003e benefits when we change the focus from hours to outcomes. It’s just that our traditional definition of work—Monday through Friday, nine to five—doesn’t make sense in the always-on global economy. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So, Ressler and Thompson created the Results-Only Work Environment. In a ROWE, \u003ci\u003eyou\u003c\/i\u003e control when, where, and how long you work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your time is entirely up to you. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Suddenly, work isn’t a place you \u003ci\u003ego\u003c\/i\u003e, it’s a thing you \u003ci\u003edo\u003c\/i\u003e. In a ROWE, there are no mandatory meetings or fixed schedules. You stop doing any activity that wastes time, and no one criticizes you for “leaving early” or “coming in late.” If you do your best work at midnight or on Sundays, go for it! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ROWE sounds like a fantasy, but Ressler and Thompson have already made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 company. They have proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier but also delivers \u003ci\u003ebetter results\u003c\/i\u003e. And now the authors are helping companies implement ROWE nationwide. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Infused with passion and common sense, \u003ci\u003eWhy Work Sucks and How to Fix It\u003c\/i\u003e will change the way you think about your job, your company, and your quality of life.
