About the Program
These days everyone owes their time and energy to many workplace masters. We juggle analysis, customer service, supervision, time management, strategic planning, problem solving, and more. We work tirelessly on a seemingly infinite knot of interrelated problems and issues, and wonder how we will ever get it all done. We sense we are spread too thin, and that our complex workload is somehow impossible, so we work more hours to get the same output. But our hours are finite, and our lives not our own. Can we succeed despite overwhelming and contradictory goals? The answer is yes, but only by being on target and working "on-purpose" at all times.
Objectives: In this session you will hear compelling stories and learn to use analytical models for:
- Teaching other people what you do, so that their requests align to your primary goals
- Making your progress more visible to yourself, so that you get more done (and feel more satisfied)
- Avoiding workplace drama and improving interactions with colleagues
- Understanding the structure of the information-age workplace and how to influence it
- Experiencing more output and less stress at work
