- Summary:
-
"Work and Family - Allies or Enemies? offers a fresh new lens for viewing the real struggles that business professionals face in their daily battle to find ways of "getting a life" and "having it all." Based on a pioneering study that surveyed more than 800 business professionals, this volume will help readers understand and deal with the effects of gender, professional culture, and social expectations on the evolving roles of men and women in crafting an integrated life. A rich, inspiring, and at times disturbing look at how work and family affect the lives of men and women trying to manage the complexities of modern living, the book argues that it is critical to learn how to manage the boundaries between work and family, to handle ambiguity, to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, and to build networks of support at work and in the community.
Work and Family - Allies or Enemies? offers a practical prescription for success that requires all parties - individuals, employers, and society - to clarify what is important, recognize and support the whole person, and continually experiment with new ways to achieve meaningful goals."--BOOK JACKET.
