58. Is Productivity a Dirty Word to Those You Lead? 5 Tips for Facilitating a Change in Perspective.🤓

Let me ask you a question.  When I say the word “productivity”, what is the first thought or feeling you have?  Do you think of it in positive terms or is it a dirty word in your world?  Personally, I feel best when I am efficient and productive.  I like to feel the sense of accomplishment that comes with checking things off of my project list, especially when it means I am able to find more time for the people and the things that fill me up.

 

Isn’t it ironic that when we talk about being productive at home or in the work that we assign ourselves, we generally think of it in a positive light, right?  Like if I can crank out content for 3 episodes instead of one, or I get all of my laundry done in one day, I am thrilled to have produced more with my efforts!

 

 If I can effectively use my time to accomplish more, I feel good about it.  But now on the flip side, when we think about productivity in the workplace and talk about it with those we lead, is it perceived as positive?  Often not.  Oftentimes, people perceive productivity to be a measure by which an organization pushes its people to work harder in order to make the company more money. 

 

So how do we shift that narrative so that our people don’t see productivity as another four-letter word in their vocabulary?  Today I am going to share a few tips that have helped me and my leaders, and will hopefully help you.

 

I hope this episode blesses you!
