Most organizations have created always-on work contexts that are burning people out and hurting performance rather than delivering productivity, innovation and engagement.
Watch this on-demand The LX Signature event with Rob Cross, the Edward A. Madden Professor of Global Leadership at Babson College and co-Founder and Director of the Connected Commons, who discusses his book, Beyond Collaboration Overload: How to Work Smarter, Get Ahead, and Restore Your Well-Being, to learn how to best solve for this problem.
Beyond Collaboration Overload is based on over a decade of research studying successful people and how they collaborate. The book reveals how these high performers collaborate in ways that enable them to be 18-24% more efficient than their peers. It then proceeds to show how successful people invest this time in ways that promote performance and well-being in today’s hyper-connected world. Cross’ framework provides relief from the definitive problem of our age—dysfunctional collaboration at the expense of our performance, health and overall well-being.
