lifestyle attitude balance myth health wellness

shared by Gary Patton on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Work/Life Balance Is A Myth
  • When I ask busy executives to describe a satisfying life, they often envision a scenario in which they work hard but dictate their own assignments.
  • What they really need is control. But, frequently, what they think they want is balance-
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • That myth compels many of us to view an ideal life as a set of perfectly level scales.
  • I’ve noticed a couple trends of my own
  • There’s always a lot of chatter in the media about the latest trends in work-life balance.
  • In reality, that perfect balance almost never occurs, except for those rare, fleeting moments when the trays pass each other on the way up or down--and we’re too frazzled to appreciate that brief moment of self-actualization anyway.
  • when it comes to work-life balance, we often adopt a victim mind-set.
  • Second, we want to believe there’s a quick fix that we’re somehow overlooking
  • Doing what that guy in the photo was doing is impossible for more than a few minutes at a time.
  • don’t say if no if you don’t have any leverage
  • In practice, however, what I’ve seen is that people often invest that free time in doing more work.
  • Their identity is rooted in work, and that’s where they want to be. Outside of work, in the complex dance of family and community responsibilities, they lose their autonomy. Their professional expertise doesn’t mean much.
  • We need better ways to manage work-life boundaries, understanding that we are subject to phases, often dictated by events out of our control, in which our work lives and personal lives ebb and flow in their demands.
  • Shore up the home front
  • f you feel overworked to the point that you complain about it constantly
  • Say “no” strategically
  • Quit complaining
  • Take control instead

      Given the context of immutable human nature, I'm NOT buying this one. But, I'll stand to be corrected as more Gen Ys grow to maturity and more responsibilities in our cruel, hard world of student loans in the context of family commitments.

      If you're just entering the work force or applying for a new job, don't make the terrible mistake of 64% of college students who ask about their prospective empoyer's social media usage policies in the middle of their job interviews. Approximately 24% also foolishly say it would be a key factor in accepting the offer. If you want to use social media when you're supposed to be working, unless you're being hired to make business posts for you're empoyer, set up your own company because the business world is NOT going to accomodate your preferences on their dime!
  • Cisco recently published its Connected World Report, the results of which are quite shocking.
  • Out of 2,800 college students and young professionals under the age of 30 and hailing from 14 countries, approximately one in three said he/she would prioritize social media freedom, device flexibility and work mobility over salary in accepting a job offer.

      Please note, I'm using red to highligt these statements because of the total lack of wisdom in these behaviours, in my opinion! And I'm the first to admit that I'm an ole guy!

      This is an incredible comment on the lack of wisdom and the sense of entitlement that too many parents of GenY's have inculcated in them, in my opinion. In 2012's and future difficult job markets where few will have the kinds of fulltime jobs prior generations had, this is unbelievably unwise.
  • A Generation Y and Facebook study done by Millennial Branding and Identified shows that Gen-Yers are using their personal networks and profiles as an extension of their professional personality. Even though they are using Facebook to mostly socialize with family and friends, they are inadvertently blending the two.

      And when you're asked to prove the value-added you are bringing to your organization by this currently ozymoronic blend, you'll be OK ONLY have you have solid, verifiable proof that you're adding value. Otherwise, you'll probably be fired! The market's full of others who will do it the way most CEOs still want it done ...without attitude or compalining. You can change your organization's culture when you are rewarded, for your value-adding in the way your boss wants it done, by being promoted to senior management. In the meantime: "Do it their way!" ...not Frank Sinatra's recommended "my way"!
  • They are job hopping multiple times in their careers.

      What's the big deal here! It's only members of GenAncient and too many empoyeees in bureaucracies and unions who stayed with one or two organizations thoughout their working life. I started work after University in 1966 and have changed career directions about 10 times even after setting up my own company in 1984 ...when many GenY's weren't even born!
  • If large corporations want to remain competitive, they need to aggressively recruit Gen-Y workers
    • Gary Patton
      Gary Patton on 28 Jan 12
       
      And if GenYs are S-M-A-R-T, they'll resist any allures to get into big business. Set up your own company and retain a measure of freedom. "Rich Dad" in Robert Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad; Poor Dad" wass right on with his advice to students now and in the forseeable future. And if you don't know what that advice was, your in trouble in the 21st Century economy that I foresee.
  • These studies show that if companies want to retain young talent, they need to display trust in their young workforce and allow Gen-Yers to operate entrepreneurially within the corporation by giving them control over their time and activities.

      While I agree this is accurate for many young people who control their attitude and sense of entitlement, most senior managements don't buy this and they currently run the business world. So get over it for now if you want a job-job! Your best route however is: "Set up your own shop ASAP ..or get with the program!!" ~ gfp '42™
  • social network usage is more of a lifestyle to young employees than a distraction.
