Marriage And Work

On NPR duing my morning drive this morning, a somewhat interesting study of work habits was discussed. Hedge funds are those funds which manage wealth for the very rich. It seems that for those funds which have a single manager (common), if the manager is either getting divorced or getting married, the performance of the hedge funds falls to the point where they lose money as compared with those hedge funds where the manager has either a stable marriage or is not married. That tells us that we bring our personal lives to work and our personal lives impact the work we do. One might extend that concept to every working man, doctors, dentists, accountants, contractors, carpenters, plumbers, etc… should we find out more about those people we need to do business with before committing money or our health to someone who may produce unpredictable performance?

FYI: Drs. Pak, Kim, Fargo and I are all committed to a monogamous relationship where we find great joy and are very happy, so we can safely take care of you, our patients.
