  • 420 — Toxic productivity: Time to say ‘no!’

    420 — Toxic productivity: Time to say ‘no!’
    Nov 12 2024
    Are you an over-committing over-achiever? In Toxic Productivity, author Israa Nasir argues that you can only maintain that approach to productivity for so long. Eventually you’ll burn out, exhausted by all those ‘time management hacks’ that organizations (like Mind Tools!) keep suggesting. So this week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Israa joins Ross Dickie and Ross Garner to offer an alternative approach. We discuss: how toxic productivity manifests in our lives how getting rewarded for our productivity tricks us into trying to achieve more how the signals that managers send sets expectations for their teams. The book, by Israa Nasir, is Toxic Productivity. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Ross D recommended checking out the NotebookLM AI-podcast version of our newsletter. Israa recommended the ‘Under the K’ venue in New York. For more from us, including access to our back catalogue of podcasts, visit mindtools.com/business.

  • 418 — How do we measure management capability?

    418 — How do we measure management capability?
    Oct 29 2024
    Measuring management capability is intrinsically complex. Unlike sales training, where you have sales, or customer-service training, where you have CSAT scores, management doesn’t have a built-in metric we can use to quantify learning impact. So, what’s the solution? This week on The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Dickie is joined by Owen and Anna to discuss our new ‘Manager Skills Assessment’ — a scientific diagnostic that managers and their organizations can use to evaluate their capability. We discuss: what the Manager Skills Assessment (MSA) is, and how it works; how we designed the MSA based on scientific research; what managers and L&D teams can expect to get out of the MSA. To learn more about the Manager Skills Assessment, visit our website. In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Owen mentioned SpaceX’s ‘Mechazilla’. Ross D also referenced Donald Taylor and Egle Vinauskaite’s latest report, AI in L&D: Intention and Reality.
