>>A new view of work<< Some years back I read an article about an office where the company's owner was concerned about low productivity, so he mandated 10 hour workdays. Productivity fell. In an inspired moment, he thought of trying a shorter workday instead. He cut the workday to 7 hours, and productivity increased to levels he had never seen before. So he cut it to 6 hours, and productivity increased yet again. He tried 5 hours, but productivity dropped significantly, so he went back to 6 hours and left it there. Would love to find that article again. It would be worth doing a follow-up piece.
