Do men and women have different motivators???

Milana Nair’s poll on LinkedIn is making me ponder again, on whether men and women have different motivators. Though it’s a very small sample, and can’t be the basis of any argument it is significant enough to make on think.

Do females have a higher craving for innovation than the male population?
Does the male population more conscious about financials (Compensation, Benefits and rewards) than their female counterpart?

Think about it and implications of the same in managing your teams.

Work Life Balance is for Wimps

Just recently finished reading a book “I bought the Monk's Ferrari” by Ravi Subramanian. It’s an interesting read but one thought that was intriguing “Work Life balance is for wimps”.

My first reaction was of disgust, but having spent most of my career in Operations, I have had to face situations where one had to focus more on work than on family and vice versa.

I decided to post the question on Linkedin and had some interesting answers
"Work Life Balance is for Wimps" is the view taken by Ravi Subramanian in his book "I bought the Monk's Ferrari". What’s your take?


Right from DAVE MASKIN’s comment “Without work life balance, we become a bunch of worker ants without a life..” to Phil Lauro‘s view “Work is Life”. There are different views on culture, Stage of Life, Personal inclination.

I personally wake to the smile of my 2 year old, but when at work it is all about professional achievement and personal excellence. There are times I have worked 24*7, but there are also times when I will skip office to be with my family.
