5 Ways CIOs Can Help Eliminate A Culture Of Busyness
CIO, Thursday, July 20,2023
Busyness can be perceived as a badge of honor. But being busy doesn't always mean being more productive. So how can the modern CIO help organizations avoid this trap?
At the turn of the 20th century, economists predicted that living a life of leisure would be the ultimate aspiration for the elite. These same economists suggested that those who were able to take more time off from work would be considered the most successful.
Now the inverse seems to be the case. Today, those who are seen to exert more effort are deemed to have greater relevance. But in business, evaluating employees based on how busy they are isn't necessarily an effective measure of performance. For the modern CIO, ensuring that being busy is aligned with being productive demands a proactive approach.
