Show description

When things are going well on a team, it can feel like a well-oiled machine … every component works in harmony, and everything runs smoothly without any hitches. But when a team isn’t functioning properly, it feels more like a sinking ship – no matter how hard you try, you just can't keep it afloat. That’s why productivity expert Cal Newport says teams need effective workflow strategies, just like individuals do. In this video lesson, Newport shares tools to help your organization achieve a more productive and less stressful environment as you work to keep the ship above water. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go Deeper with Big Think: ►Become a Big Think Member Get exclusive content, early, ad-free access to new releases, and more. https://www.youtube.com/@bigthink/membership/ ►Subscribe to Big Think on Substack Explore content that enlightens, inspires, and transforms. https://bigthinkmedia.substack.com/subscribe/ ►Get Big Think+ for Business Engage learners like never before with high-impact video microlearning from the biggest thinkers in the world. https://bigthink.com/plus/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=youtube_description ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Cal Newport: Cal Newport is an MIT-trained computer science professor at Georgetown University who also writes about the intersections of technology, work, and the quest to find depth in an increasingly distracted world.
