The Friday Threshold Trap Reminder

There is a point at which the gains of a beneficial process disappear. And fall away rapidly.

• Exercise is good for you. But too much clearly isn't.
• E-mail is efficient (gets stuff done), but over-reliance and an addiction curtails effectiveness (getting the right things done).
• Hot-desking is a total pain on a Monday when you simply end up sitting in a corridor with a lap-top balanced on your knees slowly developing a pain in the neck.
• Zoom calls are easy to book but nobody is 'mentally' there.
• Chasing an ever high standard of living can reduce the quality of your life.
• Lists of values look good in the annual report but cause cynicism in some of your best and most hard-working teams.
• Throwing all marketing communication at social media disguises the lack of an actual strategy.
