Why you’re overworked…

…and what to do about it. Over on Right Reality, David Batstone has some good thoughts on overwork, and some solutions. A quick look:

1) Individuals inside the organization should be assigned tasks in
relation to a project, and only provisionally in relation to a job
title.
2) Distinct silos within the same organization replicate tasks unnecessarily.
3) Management must learn to trust more and exercise more consistent accountability.
4) Hold meetings only when absolutely necessary.
5) Managers should be recognized for cutting outmoded tasks as well as shaving expenses.

I’m guessing the comments will fill up over there….
