If you are really sweating the problem, you are sweating only one problem.

But an organization usually has more than one problem that needs to be addressed concurrently, unless it wants to constantly be "fire fighting" problems that could have received partial attention earlier but instead have become emergencies.

So this guy is going to want to sweat more than one problem, which really just means doing a normal job of prioritizing things, but with more sweat. Just remove the L & B from WLB, permanently. Sort of like this boss imagines he does by writing emails at his family's events, but without the extreme upside potential afforded to executives.
