Busy Work: Turning effort into value

Episode #73 // How do you stop people from mindlessly carrying out non-value adding activity for its own sake? This problem is extremely common, and addressing it can be incredibly challenging.

As a leader, you will most likely need to do more than just work with your people on an individual basis. You will actually need to cut through your organisation’s well established cultural norms.

But busy work is hard to see, hard to challenge, and hard to replace with higher value work.

In this episode, we take a look at how to start making fundamental shifts in how your teams get work done, and how you can exponentially improve their outcomes.

Your boss wants more with less. Your team wants less, full stop. You're stuck in the middle.
