Something I’ve learned the hard way as a manager:
Productivity isn’t just about how much gets done. It’s about how people feel while doing it.
I’ve seen high output teams burn out fast because we didn’t stop to check in.
Now, I check in more. Ask better questions. Measure energy, not just efficiency.
Because people aren’t machines. They’re human and they matter.

You are only as good as your team. Treat them well and harness their focus and energy but don’t burn them out. They are people and you want to make sure that they are happy, healthy and productive at work and on the weekends.

That's a very good point. I often think a lot of the problem is a symptom of our obsession with quarterly earnings. There's always a push to cut costs and squeeze more work out of people. And as that message makes its way down the hierarchy people can get used up and burnt out. It's good to remember to nurture and preserve your team for the long term.

I would appreciate your perspective.
I am currently working on my MBA in a professional evening and weekend program at a highly accredited university. I am thinking about transferring to a much smaller private online program, specifically because they offer a concentration in organizational health, which directly builds on my doctoral research. Does great depth and specialization outweigh the value of a highly respected generalist degree?
