Thriving in an overconnected world
While email and mobile technology have greatly accelerated the way we do business, Leslie Pernow argues that the always "on" mentality can have a long-term detrimental effect on many organizations. In her sociological experiments at BCG and other organizations, Pernow found that if the team –- rather than just individuals -- collectively rallies around a goal or personal value, it unleashes a process that creates better work and better lives.
