Summary
At the recent ALA conference, I attended several talks that framed low productivity as a personal issue, and I don’t think that’s the whole story. In today’s episode, I push back on that narrative and explain why shifting the focus from blaming individuals to improving the systems they work within is the key to solving productivity challenges. I also discuss how taking a systems approach can help you identify the real bottlenecks, make work visible, and create a more collaborative environment within your team.
