The workplace special report you are in all parts of to open marks a milestone at BusinessWeek: It’s the first issue created in collaboration with our readers. In surveys and blogs on BusinessWeek.com, in responses on LinkedIn, and in a poll conducted with YouGov and the Washington firm RT Strategies, nearly 4,000 readers identified their top concerns at work and then discussed in depth in what manner they tackle these problems. This project, nearly four months in the making, has been enlightening since our writers and editors and, no doubt, with respect to those who contributed comments and essays. We are cocksure that you, too, will find value in the collective wisdom assembled in the present life. From time management to dealing with toxic bosses and generational strain, readers clearly yearn for more balance and harmony. And because that pair topics that generated intense conversation involved how to negotiate a stultifying bureaucracy and how to stay entrepreneurial in an era of uncertainty, it seems apparent that while BusinessWeek readers are serious about improving their work lives, they are just because serious about doing excellent work. To help our reader/editor tag team wrestle with workplace conundrums, we also solicited advice from leaders and luminaries such as Jim Collins, Anne Mulcahy, and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. We think you’ll find this rumor surprising, instructive, and illuminating, and that it choose help you ameliorate your work life.
