    I understand why: A balance implies a equal amount, while a harmony carries no such depth.

      I actually like the wording “work-life harmony” but I guess I try to implement it the opposite way Nadella means it. Or I guess my version would be more “Life-Work harmony”. Or “broadening my horizons and creating serendipitous moments by disconnecting from work” and “ensure I’m fully productive when on the clock” if you want to make it overgrown-man-baby-oligarch friendly and present it as a win-win.

      I think he meant that work should not be compensated. Just tune your life to maximize both (?) is his message. Of course, the reality doesn’t allow that and we need a trade-off. They live in a cave or something.
