The ceo at uncharted, a company that helps non prophits get funding to scale their impact, decided to run a radical experiment. The gore wasn't to push forty hours of work into four days but with 80 % of the time. He hired a third party evaluator who took base line data at the beginning, middle and end of the experiment. They studied hours work, mental health and overall contribution. Benita said, the conversation was a turning point. Instead of lindsey being an order taker, she became more of a trusted adviser. Even junior employees were empowered to advocate for what was essential instead of simply allowing the hierarchy to win.
In this episode, I have a simple question for you: What would you do with an extra day each week? Would you use it to spend time with your family or work on an important project?
