Leslie Perlow, Harvard professor, studied The Boston Consulting Group's toxic work culture. She found that employees were leaving due to a lack of control over their schedules. To address the issue, Perlow proposed giving consultants a predictable night off each week. This would allow them to have time away from work and make plans without fear of being pulled back in. The podcast discusses the study's findings, simple strategies to improve work culture, and the importance of psychological safety.
