Up-Close with Chin Teik: The Act of Subtracting

This is a key leadership capability to make organizations more human. For some reason, people in organizations, have learned to say yes and believe that they have no power to say no or to negotiate.  I call it the Vicious Cycle of Yes. 
The employees' plates are overflowing with too many ideas or tasks from the top down, impacting:

• Cognitive focus and slow and deep thinking for complex problem solving
• Mental, physical and emotional well-being
• Poor execution impacting customers and business results

The vicious cycle of Yes, has led managers to forget and assume that the employees have limitless cognitive and physical capacities to do everything at the same time.

Listen to my podcast to learn the 7 steps in the Act of Subtracting, including the Power of No. 

Thank you for listening. Be well.
