to work longer - not to work more productively

Perhaps, in some situations, such a formula really works. However, most likely, this approach would lead to failure.

Assume that a head of N decided to enhance its credibility in the eyes of management, and increase the productivity of the department. He gathers his men and pushes it that their department should be the first in everything, especially in bringing profits. And offers to work on the new scheme: increase of working hours in direct proportion to the growth of profits.

But such a scheme not only increase profits, it is likely to reduce it and cause dissatisfaction among the staff. Employees have the feeling that they have stolen part of the free time in exchange for illusory profits for these companies.

Some bosses sits firmly in the idea that the more you work the more the better the result. They are ready to come up with the most incredible and sometimes useless, the work would be subordinate not only loafing on the job.

It should try to come to an increase in productivity of more creative. Instead say: "We need to increase productivity by 100%, so it will work on 100% more", said: "We need to increase productivity by 100%, but still fall within standard working day. Any ideas? ".

It will not be a forced increase in working hours, but rather a challenge for intelligent and motivated people. Their heads will be busy not thinking about how to pass the time during those two extra hours of work, and how to improve, reorganize and streamline its activities, to catch more.

People do not like to get out of your comfort zone. And the head of the task that wants to make them move, make sure that they want it and create the necessary conditions for this. And then the people will make their own determination of what is possible to linger and finish work, more effort. It will not be a punishment for them. Rather, they will feel the spirit and pride themselves on reaching this goal.
