DEFINING PRODUCTIVITY

A lot of people usually get busy with so many things that a day seem not enough to finish the work intended which creates an impact on the time spent for an efficient work done.

Being productive is to achieve significant results in terms of one’s job assignation and that includes measuring how much one is doing and creating as an after math of the picture of busyness a working person exhibits.

It is not too difficult to be busy, but it does not define productivity especially in times one gets to be overloaded with fake work. Fabricating make-believe work doesn’t make one a productive employee which is often misconceived by the job holder himself whether he is an ordinary wage earner or the department leader or head.

The line between real-work and fake work is thin but time consuming. Most fake work is completely well intended. People who engage in fake work are often very busy but they mistakenly associate activity for results. Working hard is not a gauge for productive work, you can work very hard and still build nothing.

What you are busy with creates an impact, fake work doesn’t, real work does. Global HR executive Kristen Pressner stated that “being busy and working lots of weekends could be assign of being a terrible leader”.

Every duty has its time frame to meet, working on it during weekends does not justify you as a productive leader. If leaders get good performance from their teams and develop full potential of the people with whom they work by making sure members get busy with the real-work in allotted working time, they will get the best result they are looking for. — oOo—
