  <description>&lt;p&gt; Social visionaries and creators of the Results-Only Work Environment, Ressler and Thompson explore why most workplaces are so dysfunctional and offer a dramatic new way to stop the toxic behaviors and beliefs that often limit workers' potential.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the Publisher:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br/&gt; Do you hate cramming all of your errands into the weekend? &lt;BR&gt; Do you resent having to beg permission to watch your kidas weekday soccer game? &lt;BR&gt; Are you tired of seeing people who arenat very good at their jobs get promoted because they arrive early and stay late? &lt;BR&gt; Thereas got to be a better wayaand there is! Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson show that "everyone" benefits when we change the focus from hours to outcomes. Itas just that our traditional definition of workaMonday through Friday, nine to fiveadoesnat make sense in the always-on global economy. &lt;BR&gt; So, Ressler and Thompson created the Results-Only Work Environment. In a ROWE, "you" control when, where, and how long you work. As long as you meet your objectives, the way you spend your time is entirely up to you. &lt;BR&gt; Suddenly, work isnat a place you "go," itas a thing you "do." In a ROWE, there are no mandatory meetings or fixed schedules. You stop doing any activity that wastes time, and no one criticizes you for aleaving earlya or acoming in late.a If you do your best work at midnight or on Sundays, go for it! &lt;BR&gt; ROWE sounds like a fantasy, but Ressler and Thompson have already made it a reality at Best Buy, a Fortune 100 company. They have proven that ROWE not only makes employees happier but also delivers "better results." And now the authors are helping companies implement ROWE nationwide. &lt;BR&gt; Infused with passion and common sense, "Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It" will change the way you think about your job, your company, and your quality of life. Read it and join the revolution!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description>
