The art of being NOT too busy

by Sören Stamer May 10, 2007 at 03:22 PM


Andrew McAfee makes an important point: "Busyness" doesn't fit into an Enterprise 2.0: The Pursuit of Busyness

I could not agree more. Every time I heard the phrase "I have no time to write a blog" was a clear indicator to me that something was wrong. Over the past two years we invested time and effort at CoreMedia to change this behavioral pattern within the management team and the whole company. We introduced spare time for peer groups to be used on their own account, plus quarterly open space workshops with the whole team. We encouraged people to write blogs and we changed our own behavior.

Well, it takes time to accept this freedom and I am sure that we have still room for improvement at CoreMedia.

You're absolutely right:

- If you don't talk to the people they won't hear you.
- If you don't listen to the people they won't talk to you.

just my two cents ...
