VIEWS
ESSAY
Commentary by Terry Anker
Nineteenth-century American poet
and philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson
once mused that, “Without
ambition, one starts nothing.
Without work, one finishes
nothing.” He makes a good point. We are
far more likely to accomplish something
when we set out with a clear objective
and apply the effort required to take us
there. Whether we imagined ourselves to
be college educated or to earn enough to
provide a college education for our off-
spring, a bit of chutzpah and more than a
little labor are required to get us there.
Earlier this year, Randstad Consulting,
a Dutch human resources firm, released
its 2024 Workmonitor report. Among other
things, it held that more than 40 percent
of Americans would refuse a promotion
if offered; more than half are happy to
remain in a job with no prospects of
mobility; and almost two-thirds see their
noncareer interests as more important
than their contributions at the office.
CFO.com took the data to be a signif-
icant shift for traditional U.S. workers
and as an ominous horizon for replacing
retiring leadership. Moreover, many of
those who do work demand limited desk
time along with other concessions and
accommodations. Much has been said
about whether we have enough leisure.
Still, are we willing to accommodate a
lesser lifestyle in the trade? If we care,
do we look to inheritance, handouts, AI or
cheap global labor to offset our increasing

lack of productivity? Regardless, who will
pick up the slack? Employment for those
65 and older has risen from 11 percent in
1987 to 19 percent today. With the realized
promise of a technological solution still
out of reach, there seems to be consid-
erable opportunity for those of us with
some motivation. Will our ambition start
something?
