Whilst there is a perception that many senior roles cannot function effectively using part time jobs, the reality is that most roles can function on a less than full time basis, as long as they are structured and managed appropriately and effectively.
Today, the number of people reviewing their lives against such concepts as "the meaning of life" and "family / work / life balance" is increasing dramatically.
