We’re starting a new series here on The Workplace Therapy Podcast called Weaponized Words, where we examine the lexicon we use in the workplace and try to unpack how certain words and phrases might have and unintended impact in our organizations. This week, my co-host Skylar Lewandowski and I take a look at the often-weaponized word, “productivity.” We discuss what productivity is, what it isn’t, where leaders commonly trip up when evaluating productivity and what we can learn to do differently.
