The only published study of the way chief executives actually spend their day has been made in Sweden by Professor Sune Carlsson.

瑞典卡尔森教授的研究报告是我所见过的唯一一份已发表的、把重心放在分析首席执行官日常工作方式上的研究。

For several months Carlsson and his associates clocked with a stop watch the working day of twelve leading Swedish industrialists.

卡尔森和同事花了几个月的时问用秒表记录瑞典12 位企业家如何运用工作时间。

They noted the time spent on conversations, conferences, visits, telephone calls and so forth.

他们记录了这些企业家花在谈话、开会、拜访、听电话等方面的时问，

They found that not one of the twelve executives was ever able to work uninterruptedly more than twenty minutes at a time — at least not in the office.

结果发现这 12位企业家没有一位可以连续工作20 分钟而不受到干扰。至少在办公室中绝对办不到。
