Employers, your productivity obsession is ruining your company
Long-term success comes from a clear and compelling vision.
A colleague once told me a story of a boss he worked with who suffered a heart attack days before a high-profile project was due. A combination of poor health, high stress, and a series of unfortunate events resulted in his collapse. His project was under-resourced, over-promised, and tied to a highly critical client that would not accept “no” for an answer. Despite all his health issues, he requested a conference call while he was still recovering from the hospital.
