CFO Series: Performance by Design: Drivers of Productivity
CPE Credit:
2
Overview
Description:
Productivity is rarely a matter of working harder. The highest-performing individuals and teams consistently produce better results because their work is intentionally designed to drive focus and improve decision-making, accountability, and sustainable performance. To get more, the system must be designed to deliver more. We explore how leadership behaviors, workplace culture, communication, role clarity, decision fatigue, interruptions, and employee engagement influence both individual and organizational performance. We focus on creating systems and environments where people can consistently perform at their best. Learn how to identify the barriers that quietly reduce productivity.
