Summary of David Burkus's Under New Management

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The CEO of the France-based technology company Atos SE, Thierry Breton, announced that he was banning email. In three years’ time, he wanted Atos to be an email-zero company. He believed that the volume of emails was polluting his employees’ working environments and their personal lives.

#2 Atos, a French company, tried to eliminate email usage in order to improve collaboration. They bought another software firm called BlueKiwi and used its technology to build their own social network for the entire enterprise.

#3 Many leaders, including Thierry Breton, Phil Libin, and Jay Simons, have banned email to help their employees stay productive and stress-free.

#4 The experiment showed that employees were more focused and less stressed when they couldn’t use email. They noticed this effect, and consistently reported feeling more relaxed and focused, as well as more productive, when their email was shut off.
