Books like Finding time by Leslie A. Perlow
Selling a counterintuitive thesis, Leslie A. Perlow examines the prevailing belief that more work hours equal higher organizational performance. Over nine months she observes a product development team at a Fortune 500 company, documenting everyday heroics and the crushing rhythm of rewards that drive continuous interruptions and discourage teamwork. Perlow argues that these practices not only degrade corporate productivity but also erode the quality of life for employees, inviting readers to rethink the long‑hour culture in the modern workplace.
