Overcoming Collaborative Overload, by Jonathan H. Westover PhD

  • Summary

  • Abstract: As someone with both professional consulting and academic research experience, I understand the delicate balance required to navigate the complexities of modern organizational structures. This research brief will explore the root causes of "collaborative overload" - the overwhelming burden placed on employees as they are pulled in multiple directions, expected to participate in an ever-growing number of teams, meetings, and collaborative initiatives. Drawing on academic literature and real-world case studies, I will highlight the detrimental impacts of collaborative overload on individual and organizational performance, and provide practical, research-backed strategies to help organizations and their employees reclaim their time, boost productivity, and cultivate a more sustainable work environment. By establishing collaboration guardrails, fostering focused individual work time, prioritizing and streamlining collaborative initiatives, and promoting a culture of transparency and accountability, organizations can strike a healthy balance between the benefits of collaboration and the need for individual focus and productivity, unlocking new levels of innovation, resilience, and long-term success.
