Barnes conducted an experiment in his own business, the New Zealand trust company Perpetual Guardian, and asked his staff to design a four-day week that would permit them to meet their existing productivity requirements on the same salary but with a 20 percent cut in work hours. The outcomes of this trial, which no business leader had previously attempted on these terms, were stunning.

Brenda, Kevin, and the kids were stuck...Brenda had taken a 20 percent pay cut and was told by her boss she should feel "lucky to still have a job". But they were already living paycheck to paycheck. How were they going to get by with 20 percent less income? Move. Brenda was offered a great job six states away. They'd have to sell the house, though. But they didn't have much equity.
