International business expert Dr. Robert Grosse and I discuss his book, The Four-Day Workweek, which makes a compelling case for reducing the number of workdays in a week to four.

Globalization has brought with it fiercer competition and greater worker mobility, and as organizations compete for top talent, they are becoming more open to unconventional worker arrangements, such as remote working and flextime. 

Dr. Grosse draws on scholarly research to construct an appealing argument for why the four-day workweek benefits both the organization and the employee. Research has demonstrated that longer work hours harm the individual and don't amount to a more effective organization, which begs the question: then why do it?

We discuss some of the ways of achieving a four-day workweek and explore common barriers to getting there. 

The book is for forward-thinking executives, leaders, and academics who understand that work-life balance is the secret sauce not only for organizational success, but also for greater productivity and satisfaction in their careers and those of the people they manage.

The Book Review I (Wade) Gave on Amazon...

Many people approach the 4-Day Work Week conversation with a specific bias or agenda. Robert does a phenomenal job of presenting historic tends, relevant data and case studies to illustrate where the "movement" has originated and where it appears to be going. Rather than advocating a specific position, he simply shares what he believes will likely happen and the related pros and cons.

This is an absolute great read if you're looking to understand:

1) how to implement this in your organization

2) where you could run into challenges

3) how you might balance the cooperation of the company and the employees to make it work

4) if you even think it's worth trying
