Comments on: Women can have it all… if we get rid of “time macho”

Throughout the years, women have been fighting a lot of battles. We win some and some are still in a pending status. It is sad to see that there are still those who tend to ignore the oppressing problems of women in our society. But I am also happy that there are women who face and try to solve these problems. In spite of gender biases and stereotypes, I think women can still find a balance between career and family. If not, a woman can decide what makes her happy best.

Thanks Jessica for more good insights on The Atlantic article. I’m hoping that Anne-Marie Slaughter, Sarah Granger (SF Gate) and your articles will highlight the effective integration of work and life. While I love the Kennedy example in the comments here, I think it side steps the point that for many men and women, work doesn’t have to be done in a specific place. We can often be more effective and efficient given greater flexibility. If we and our organizations are creative about mixing the human, technical, and organizational dimensions we can have more, if not all.

Sometimes when you want it more you stay at the office more… There’s a story about Robert Kennedy I’ve read on inc.com, he was seeking to indict Teamsters head Jimmy Hoffa. One night Kennedy worked on the Hoffa case until about 2 a.m. On his way home he passed the Teamsters building and saw the lights were still on in Hoffa's office, so he turned around and went back to work. We’re living in a world in which we need to outsmart and outwork our competitors and some people don’t have the privilege to just let go. Want an invite to IQTELL’s GTD app beta?
