Weekly Reflection #31 - Do Less with Less
Each week, I share one insight. One piece of wisdom. One question to reflect on. (and a little Lagniappe)
Insight
Years ago, I was working at a company that cut head count. My team worried about how we would keep up with the same work. Our manager stopped us and said, "No, we'll do less with less. The company made this decision, and now we will prioritize accordingly."
Wisdom
There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all.
Peter Drucker, The Effective Executive
