Mavenlink is a modern software platform for professional and marketing services organizations. It is the only solution that helps services firms establish an operational system of record that facilitates their business lifecycle, including key capabilities like resource management, project management, collaboration, project accounting, and Business Intelligence.

Roger Neel, co-founder and CTO of Mavenlink for over 11 years, is an accomplished web designer, Ruby on Rails engineer, thought leader in agile software development, mentor to startup founders and software developers, and a strong advocate for pair programming.

There are a lot of people working from home at scale at the moment, and many people will not be able to switch off and overcompensate. Roger joins me on Tech Talks Daily to explore the topic of burnout. Roger states that "one of the major factors that contribute to overwhelmed staff members is a lack of focus of vision from management - resulting in too many conflicting projects and priorities.

For example, if you give someone 20 tasks and say they're all critical, they'll be overwhelmed. If instead, you're more focused and do a better job prioritizing, people are less likely to wind up overwhelmed with their task list."
