In addition to [or may be instead of] this long article, one might look at the real examples of people, who achieved exceptional results whilst working less than 8 hours per day.
One such example is Roberto Goizueta, whose work habits at the helm of Coke were vividly described in this book - Greising, David (1989). I'd Like the World to Buy a Coke: The Life and Leadership of Roberto Goizueta.

- daemon13 14y agoI wonder how the researched biography stands for selected anecdote. Roberto Goizueta was leaving his work at 3-4 p.m. daily. He almost never stayed till 5-6 p.m. or even overtime. He managed to achieve this feat by focusing on three things: 1. capital allocations decisions; 2. people management (he personally made any/all personnel decisions for top 100 people); 3. managing Wall Street/analysts. Compare this with current breed of CEOs/COOs/etc.
