132: How to Improve the Quality of Your Connectedness, with Jennifer Deal

Jennifer Deal: Center for Creative Leadership

Author, Always On, Never Done: Don’t Blame The Smartphone

  • Center for Creative Leadership works to help improve leadership.
  • Many people said that staying so connected really started when they received their smartphone.
  • On average, people in the survey were connected to the workplace 72 hours a week, or 13.5 hours a day.
    • Personal tasks done during the workday were accounted for in the research (even people that don’t work these kind of hours still do personal tasks at work)
  • One of the biggest complaints was the number of meetings required in organizations.
    • A major issue is being invited to meetings and then people realizing that they weren’t really needed.
    • Setting clear agendas is key.
    • Be explicit why each person is needed.
  • Another major complaint was too many people making decisions.
    • Be explicit about who has decision-making authority and who needs to be checked with.
  • The intentional use of ambiguity as a management tool is also a challenge.
    • Sometimes people don’t make a decision so they don’t have responsibility for it, so they leave it in ambiguity.
    • Clear agendas and outcomes help prevent this.
    • This leads to crisis mode later on.
  • What Jennifer does differently because of this research
    • She still answers emails early in the morning and late at night.
    • Setting better boundaries about having done enough work today.
    • Being very specific on agendas for meetings.
    • She turns down a lot of meetings that aren’t as high value as the other things she needs to be doing.
