Because of some work I’ve done about how much time people spend connected with the workplace, I hear lots of stories – and complaints – about how much connect wouldn’t be necessary if people just stopped wasting other people’s time.
Two typical stories are that someone has too much to do, or someone is trying to CYA. As a result, it increases the work other people have to do, in addition to what they were already responsible for.
Why does this happen? Pick a reason: Too much work, inefficient use of time, self-protective behavior which waste’s people time, organizational politics (etc.).
Is it inevitable? I don’t think so. I believe there are strategies leaders (you) can take that will improve the situation.
