Improving Workplace Performance … to make your best better.

I study productivity, so you don’t have to. You are busy. You’ve got work to do. There is someone who is about to interrupt you…as you’re reading this! You need to know what works…now.

When we work together, I will share what I know about “the psychology, sociology and technology” of productivity. You will get more done, faster when you understand:

Psychology: how do you think? How do you plan? How do you prioritize?
Sociology: how does the invisible affect the visible? How do you work with those around you?
Technology: how do your systems and tools support you? Where could you save time, using the tools you have been provided?

A. Psychology of Productivity

(Psychology: the scientific study of the human mind and its functions; Psychology is the science of mind and behavior. Its immediate goal is to understand behavior and mental processes by researching and establishing both general principles and specific cases.)

Understanding how we think, plan and organize ourselves is a significant aspect to everyday productivity and performance. One of the most important things I discuss when working with one of my executive coaching clients is their own mindset as it relates to and revolves around a High Performance Day. When we make a mental to do list, when we sit down to think through a problem, when we bring a pre-conceived notion/idea in to a meeting, we start shaping the hours and day to come. So, regarding leadership (whether acting as a leader or being led by others), it’s important to understand the thinking/planning styles we ourselves “bring to the table.”

B. Sociology of Productivity

(Sociology: the study of the development, structure, and functioning of human society; Sociology is the study of society. It is a social science—a term with which it is sometimes synonymous—which uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop and refine a body of knowledge about human social activity.)

Then, we work together. I have an idea, you have an idea, we meet…and in that “meeting of the minds,” we continue to think, connect and organize. How an individual, team and eventually a company grows is in direct relationship to the interactions. From the head of an organization, the CEO, Founder or Executive Director all they way down to the 5-hour-per-week intern…everyone at some point will have to interact with someone else. The ability to meet, greet and grow depends largely upon the understanding of sociological functions and relationship building.

C. Technology of Productivity

(Technology: the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes; Technology is the making, usage and knowledge of tools, techniques, crafts, systems or methods of organization in order to solve a problem or serve some purpose.)

And thirdly, how it all works together. You have an idea, I have an idea, and we need to organize that idea so that something happens, and that something is assessed…that’s applying Technology to the endeavor. Of course, I am thinking in bigger terms (re: technology) than just computers, smart phones and iPads. I am considering the organization, utilization and testing of what we know, what we think and what we invent. The ability to solve what we see as “THE” problem requires that we build something: A tool, a practice, a method that will alleviate some pain or increase some pleasure for the user.
