Right to Disconnect
Kevin O'Leary recently shared his strong opposition to Australia's new right to disconnect law, which allows employees to ignore work communications outside business hours. O'Leary argued that employees should always be reachable, even at 2 a.m., or risk losing their jobs.

Good leadership means building a resilient business model where employees can maintain work-life balance without jeopardizing operations.
