You can’t work 25 hours a day. So several speakers at the Fusion 2007 CEO-CIO Symposium on Tuesday and Wednesday tried to drive home the point that “work smarter, not harder” is more than just an age-old mantra.
Michael Knetter, dean of the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Business, summed it up: “When productivity grows, our standard of living goes up,” Knetter said. To him, producing more by working more hours and giving up leisure time is “a wash.”
