As with balance, Pucci also considers harmony in work and life to be important. It is where elements must agree with each other to achieve success. For instance, balancing work and life does not necessarily guarantee success. It may happen that 8 hours a day at work is not enough to complete one's work responsibilities, thus his success in his career may not happen. In work and life harmony, aspects such as the ability of an individual to make 8 hours a day enough for work must be in harmony with the 8 hours set in his time. Pucci suggests that an effective employee will encounter more flexibilityto accomodate his professional and personal life.
