How to Negotiate a Work-life Balance with Your Family and Yourself - Huffington Post

Though not a CEO but a busy person with a strong desire to have that balance , only and important thing I found in the article is that "this desire" is same but what makes difference is being persistent and discipline to stick with what decided earlier.

This article helped me a lot to plan my work life balance. Thanks, for such inspirational article

Couldn't agree more, Faisal Busy executives have no problem managing hectic schedules. One has to make a conscious decision to treat personal commitments (family, work out time, personal time, etc) with equal priority into the schedule and be no less willing to alter those commitments than any other commitment. I would add this behavior sets an important example for employees. I recall at one point requiring employees to identify at least one personal goal into their annual review process (like you French lessons or guitar goals) and then telling them that as a company we would do what we could to hold them accountable for reaching those personal goals in the same way we did their professional goals. Well balanced people at all levels of an organization is the key to longevity.

excellent one, thanks for sharing

There's almost always a conscious choice to be made on everything in life and often leaders and managers behave like there isn't one available on the personal front while at the same time uncompromisingly pushing their people on the work front to make business choices. Thanks for sharing.
