Excellence Without a Heart Attack

 We want to purse excellence and be successful at work; but how do we move from good to great without becoming grating to those we work with or live with? How can we be effective at work AND at home?

Our research with Gallup reveals that nearly 70% of working moms and dads don’t feel that they have enough time for themselves, their marriage and to connect with their children. The stress is having a negative impact on relationships at home and on relationships and productivity in the workplace. Distracted and stressed employees aren’t productive.

The Kaiser Family Foundation research indicates that the average employee spends 1-2 hours daily dealing with personal issues while at work. The behaviors include personal emails; phone calls; text messaging; worrying and daydreaming. The most common subjects of distraction are issues with children, followed by issues with spouse (or significant other).
