Your 7-Step Playbook to Replace Busywork...

Martin G Moore
About this episode

Are you tired of trying to lift your team’s productivity, only to find that the results remain stubbornly average?


The thing that’s holding your people back may not be obvious. Over the years, I came to realise that busy is the enemy of productive.


A huge amount of what our teams do each day delivers no value, whatsoever… it’s organisational white noise that serves only to distract us, and create the impression that we’re doing something worthwhile.


And although it might seem harmless enough, this low value work is incredibly counterproductive, getting in the way and stopping us from nailing the results that potentially deliver the most value.


In this episode, I explain why there is no virtue in busyness for its own sake; and I give you my 7-step playbook for eliminating low-value, meaningless work, so that you can focus your team on the highest value deliverables.
