Description
Every day more than 100 billion emails are exchanged, yet only one in seven is critically important. Add in the fact that the average employee now spends over one-quarter of the workday reading and answering emails, and it’s no wonder that 40% of workers believe it’s not possible to succeed at work, make a good living, and have enough time to contribute to family and community.Imagine what work could feel like if organizations and individuals could finally tap into their people’s passion and performance potential. Research shows that simpler workplaces—those where employees easily get their work done and feel productive and fulfilled, without being bogged down by distractions or overburdened with bureaucracy— are more productive, innovative and engaged.
In his upcoming book, Simplify Work: Crushing Complexity to Liberate Innovation, Productivity, and Engagement, author and global management consultant Jesse Newton delivers a newfound clarity on the case for simplification and the steps organizations and individuals need to take to unleash their potential. He reveals the common drivers of debilitating complexity and provides a recipe for reducing and removing those things getting in the way of peak performance. Growing complexity has traditionally been met with added structures, processes, committees and systems. Consequently, organizations often become a complicated mess, clouding strategic focus, slowing innovation and breeding complacency.
