No Balance, Just Focus: How Zoom’s CEO Sees the Future of Work

We have a hot take of the week. Zoom CEO Eric Yuan believes that work-life balance doesn’t exist—especially for leaders. He’s given up hobbies to solely focus on work and family, though family remains the top priority when there’s conflict. Yuan believes that the border between work and life has blurred with the rise of remote work. However, he is positive that AI will help shorten working days to 2–3 in the future.
