#1 work/life balance

Balancing work and life is seemingly becoming more and more difficult with the demands of the global business environment. Mukul's question to Shellye L. Archambea, about technology being a contributing factor to integration as opposed to segmentation, was very interesting. My personal opinion is that segmentation would be the way to go, and time with your family should be time with your family, time to play is your time to play, and time for work is time for work = quality in all areas.

Another key point I feel needs to be raised is the importance of extended family. While more a norm of certain cultures than others, the "family unit" being viewed as more than "mother, father and kids" can be beneficial both in terms of finances as well as children's development and family bonding. This may not always be possible, but something which warrants further consideration as opposed to nannies and careers.
