Summary
“Got a minute?” Those three words are quietly draining your business. In this episode, I break down why five minute meetings are the most expensive thing on your calendar. They fragment your focus, destroy strategic thinking, and send you into what I call the productivity death spiral. You’ll learn how context switching kills performance, how interruptions secretly cost you revenue, and how to retrain your team to respect structure without becoming the “unapproachable” leader. If you want deeper work, higher quality decisions, and more revenue without working longer hours, this one is mandatory. ----- Frustrated with your government contracting journey?
