How Google's 20% rule lets staff 'suppress management'

Google’s 20% rule has attracted much attention from employees and employers alike – with many people praising the legislation for its innovative approach to work-life balance.

The rule allows Google workers to spend 20% of their time on anything they want, allowing for staff to embolden their creative juices.

However, Entrepreneur reports that the rule also allows employees to “suppress management” – or at least according to Reid Hoffman, LinkedIn’s Co-Founder.

Speaking on the podcast ‘Masters of Scale’, Hoffman explained the rule and how it affects employee-employer relationships.
