Ep204: My backpack is overflowing - doing more with less (First Friday)

David Wheatley Season 2 Episode 204

Humanergy's Lance Satterthwaite talks about how to manage when you are pushed to do more with less. This is part of our First Friday work sessions. He covers three strategies...

Strategy 1 - Let things spill over:

  • Be wise about what will and won’t get done.

Strategy 2 - Get a larger bucket:

  • Increase efficiencies where possible.
  • Ask for help, delegate, and coach others
  • Advocate for increased resources.
  • Work longer hours when necessary.

Strategy 3 - Change what is flowing into the bucket or the pace in which it is flowing:

  • Engage in crucial conversations with stakeholders.
  • Clarify key deliverables.
  • Prioritize the work and make a game plan.
