Transcription

The problem with the phrase work-life balance is that it connotes tradeoff, right. So in the world of work/life balance it’s zero sum. Your work and the rest of your life. So you could be doing really great in your work – you’re getting more money, more power, more responsibility, more challenge and what’s wrong with this picture? What’s wrong with this picture is what’s happening here? The rest of your life is not doing too well. So the idea with balance is that when you think in terms of an equilibrium you’re always thinking about how you can trade one for the other. And I prefer to think instead about the idea of harmony or integration and the pursuit of what I call Four-Way Wins. So that means for you to think about where is it possible? Where do I have a degree of control to be able to make things a little bit better for me personally – my mind, body and spirit. Also for my family, however you define that. For your community and for your work and your career. So it’s about looking for opportunities to make things better at work, at home, in the community and for yourself – a Four-Way win rather than assuming that you’ve got to trade one for the other. And I find that when you take that point of view – when you put on a set of lenses that, you know, allows you to look for where is there a possibility in my world to make a positive impact in all the different parts of my life. Well then you’re much more likely to find them, aren’t you, then if you would just assume that they don’t exist. So what we found from research in the field with real people in all different kinds of organizations and at every different stage of life is that what it takes to lead the life you want, to pursue these Four-Way Wins there are three principles that are critical. The first is to be real which is to act with authenticity by clarifying what matters most to you, your vision and values. To be whole which means to act with integrity as one, right. The Latin root of the word integrity is one. So respecting the whole, the different parts of your life - your work as well as your community, your family and your personal life. And then to be innovative, to act with creativity by continually experimenting with how you get things done. Constantly learning through trial and error. Challenging the status quo and looking for better ways to get things done that work for you and for the world around you. So those three principles are critical – to be real, to be whole and to be innovative. Most of us are striving to create a greater sense of harmony. And it is indeed in the pursuit of doing something meaningful with the gifts, the talents, the passions that you’ve got and converting whatever it is that you’ve been born with and continually learning how to bring it to the world in a more productive and fruitful way. That is what I discovered in my most recent book, the key to leading the life you want. It’s kind of a paradox. By taking what you have and finding ways of making it useful in the service of other people, that’s how we end up leading the lives that we want.

Education and early life

Friedman holds a B.A. in Psychology from S.U.N.Y. Binghamton and an M.A. in Psychology and Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from the University of Michigan.[5]

Career

Friedman has consulted for organizations, executives, and individuals, including Jack Welch, former Vice President Al Gore, two White House administrations, the United Nations, the U.S. Department of Labor, the U.S. Department of State, and the U.S. Army.[6] He is on numerous advisory boards and conducts workshops on leadership and "the whole person," change creation, and strategic human resources issues. The recipient of numerous teaching awards, he appears regularly in business media, and The New York Times referred to the "rock star adoration" he inspires in his students.[7]

Friedman hosts a weekly radio show, Work and Life, on Sirius XM 132, business radio from the Wharton School.[8]

Works

His book Leading The Life You Want: Skills for Integrating Work and Life is a Wall Street Best Seller.[9] His book, Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life, was published in June 2008 by Harvard Business Press.[10] The book has been on the USA Today bestseller book list and won several other book awards.[10][failed verification]It has sold over 70,000 copies in the US and has been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish. In 2013 he wrote, Baby Bust: New Choices for Men and Women in Work and Family (Wharton Press). Friedman's book Work and Family—Allies or Enemies? (which he co-authored with Jeff Greenhaus) was recognized by The Wall Street Journal as one of the field's best books.[11] In April 2011, Leadership Succession, which Friedman edited, was reissued in paperback by Transaction Publishers after being in print for 25 years.[12]

Friedman writes about work-life integration, leadership, and other topics as a Harvard Business Review blogger.[13][better source needed]

Total Leadership

In Total Leadership: Be a Better Leader, Have a Richer Life, Friedman argues that leadership in business cannot be merely about business but has to be about life as a whole.[10] Total Leadership is an approach to human resource management and leadership development created and tested at Ford and The Wharton School that suggests that leadership must be embodied at all levels of an organizational culture to create sustainable change that's beyond work-life balance that is good for work, family, community, and self (mind, body, and spirit).[10]

This approach, Friedman writes, is superior at integrating work and the rest of life, preferable to the pursuit of "balance," which erroneously assumes the necessity of tradeoffs. With "four-way wins," all parties benefit. From this perspective, individuals realize that their actions as leaders serve a larger purpose, making the world better. Total Leadership is based upon following the principles of being real, being whole and being innovative, using stakeholder interviews for 360 degree feedback.[10]

Awards and recognitions

Friedman was awarded the Families and Work Institute's Legacy Award in 2013. He was chosen by Working Mother as one of "America's 25 most influential men for having made things better for working parents," was selected twice by HR Magazine as Most Influential Thinker and by Thinkers 50 as one of the "world's top 50 business thinkers" and in 2023 was inducted into their Hall of Fame.
