Culture of Productivity

We all want to work productively and efficiently both individually and in teams, but often the pressures we face create cultures of constant urgency. In a constantly rushed state, the team does what’s urgent, easy, or top of mind rather than what will make the biggest impact on the company. While attempting to focus on important work, we are frequently interrupted and everything feels like it is a high priority. In these environments, team members unconsciously mirror their managers’ worst habits. However, leaders can create highly productive cultures. They know when to pause to model and create great team habits to organize, prioritize, and focus.
