Beyond the To-Do List - Productivity for Work & Life

NOTE

Value Lies Beyond Simple Metrics

Relying on easy-to-measure proxies can lead organizations and individuals astray, as the most valuable attributes are often not quantifiable. For instance, hiring based solely on superficial criteria, like a candidate's demographic, neglects the essential qualities that make someone effective.

Prioritizing meaningful impact over mere visibility or popularity ensures a more fulfilling and significant contribution to both personal and professional spheres.
