The last two episodes about team meetings raised some thoughts I would like to share. I've noticed that after every team meeting, the ones required to take more actions, with extra tasks and perhaps new responsibilities, are always the same. And I've also noticed that those who get extra work after a meeting are the busiest. 

This episode is an invitation to reflect on the dependable people in our teams. We will talk about whether it is a good idea or not to keep loading our most effective assets with tasks we know they will solve, perhaps risking burnout. Then, we will think about how we can help our dependable team members and make them feel valued. 

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

• Why some team members leave the meeting room full of things to do (1:36)
• Busy people and the go-to people in our company are synonymous (2:52)
• Why busy people are the ones that solve things (5:09)
• How can we make our dependable team members know we care about them (7:59)
