Episode notes
Expectations in work are often influenced by perceptions of effort and productivity. However, a strategic assessment of activities reveals that immediate returns can diminish over time, as seen in recruiting revenue which may spike initially but decline significantly later. Therefore, roles should not strictly tie compensation to immediate financial metrics. For instance, a software engineer focused solely on revenue could neglect important practices like code documentation and communication, which ultimately contribute to long-term success. This suggests that fostering a holistic view of work that values sustained contributions over quick wins is essential for sustained business health.
