This plan of organization, which is hardly formal enough to be called organization, works. That is the proof of it. Every man has plenty to do and the responsible heads are so few in number that there is no opportunity to pass the buck into some other department or to jockey for favourable positions. In other words, there is no opportunity for office politics—which is the hardest thing to avoid in any large organization, for we are all by nature more or less politically minded and more especially so in the State of Ohio!

Men and Rubber

One of your great challenges is finding the middle ground between the well-being of the people who work with you and the achievement of your goals. My observation is that many leaders have risen to the top in because we work "too hard." That's one of the reasons we got to the top in the first place. It's only natural that we think everybody should follow our extreme example. Most, however, do not desire to become consumed by work, to let it virtually take over their lives. That's just a fact.

This is perfectly normal. Many studies, including our own, show that there is often a decline in relationship satisfaction after the birth of a child; it doesn’t mean the relationship is in trouble. Caring for an infant is a major challenge, and much of the time and attention that was once devoted to the couple’s relationship must be diverted to the child. So it’s natural for couples to struggle somewhat after they have children.
