Our "collaboration cleanse" asked 58 @asana @amazon folks to assess and subtract "digital tools." Mixed results! Most subtracted, but many felt despair after realizing that others forced them to use tools they were powerless to subtract #frictionproject hbr.org/2023/08/are-collabor…

Are Collaboration Tools Overwhelming Your Team?

Today’s workers feel numbed by a fragmented, unpredictable, and overwhelming collection of collaboration tools — the very things advertised to boost their productivity. They know they’re overloaded...

In this episode of How to Build a Happy Life, @arthurbrooks and @rebecca_rashid explore why taking things away may be key to life satisfaction. A conversation with @Leidyklotz helps us understand the science of subtraction. on.theatln.tc/HSKHEXU
Subtraction as a Solution

Subtraction as a Solution

Subtraction can be an overlooked solution in a culture of accumulation. But having less can create the space we didn’t know we needed.

Great piece, @RebHinds and @work_matters! It was fun to discuss this work with you.

If meetings are wearing you down, don't just cancel the useless ones, redesign those you keep The meeting reset @RebHinds and I wrote about @asana saved 60 people a total of 265 hours per month 70% of time saved was by revamping meetings, e.g., shorter, less-often, smaller

Try: speed bumps, games, meeting audits, purges, subtraction movements... Tools in my @WSJ article. Like @LaszloBock’s rule @google:If more than 4 interviews were to be done with a candidate, he had to approve the exception. #frictionproject @huggyrao wsj.com/articles/bosses-staf…

Why Bosses Should Ask Employees to Do Less—Not More

Too many leaders think the key to success is to pile on staff, technology, meetings, training, rules and more. The opposite is true.

I really enjoyed working with @katydec @lesliekjohn and Holly Howe on this paper about how people respond to being falsely accused of wrongdoing.

If you've been falsely accused at #work, try to remain calm. Research by @lesliekjohn & colleagues reveals how natural emotional reactions can lead to incorrect judgements by others. hbs.me/3xA8F13 CC: @katydec @GabeAdams @JudgeFaith @WomenofOB
