16 hours per day doing what?
Since recognizing and managing the invisible is a hard and sophisticated task for which we have no ready-made tools to observe the invisible, employees instead spend a great deal of time,illuminating the visible and the tangible...to the powers that be.
This is one of the top reasons, why people spend lot of hours in the office.
...proudly proclaim that they wrote a 1000-page document,
...spend enormous amounts of time and effort in loudly expressing their opinion about the 'color of the bike shed' in meetings.
...answering mails at 2 AM during the weekend.
Unfortunately, none of these actions guarantee an absence of intellectual laziness in the part of the employee. Even if we were to rule out intellectual laziness, what the workplace accomplished collectively might be very different from the original intent.
Thus, the workplace is 'out of tune' from what the corporation seeks to achieve. The only certain way to fix this, is to tear down the workplace and come up with a fresh new design ... with the sole purpose of connecting the individual intelligence to the collective... To be able to observe value in both the visible as well the invisible.
Ah! The Connected Intelligence.
