How I Write
Bosses should measure employee’s inputs. Fuel Your Output with Rich Input
A consistent intake of new ideas and perspectives significantly enhances writing quality and overall performance. Engaging with various materials, such as articles and books, serves as essential fuel for output. The inadequacy in workplace culture lies in the focus solely on output metrics, neglecting the importance of measuring inputs, such as the knowledge and experiences employees accrue. Inputs directly contribute to output in any field; increased knowledge, whether in cooking, repairs, or navigation, consistently leads to improved performance. Prioritizing input over output can empower employees to operate at their highest potential. This approach, although seemingly obsessive, is structured and methodical for achieving excellence in work.
