Drowning in Meetings, Emails, and Chaos? There's a Better Way to Work.

Drowning in Meetings, Emails, and Chaos? There's a Better Way to Work.

You’re busy. Your team is busy. Everyone’s working hard. But for all that effort, does it ever feel like not much actually gets done? According to today’s guests, the culprit usually isn’t laziness — it’s lousy workflow design. Emails that should’ve been meetings, meetings that should’ve been emails, and half-finished projects clogging the system. In their new book, There’s Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Get Rid of the Stuff That Gets in the Way of Real Work, MIT Sloan professors Nelson Repenning and Donald Kieffer show how smarter work design can cut through the clutter. 📱 Follow The Next Big Idea Daily on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen 📩 Want more bite-sized insights from the best new nonfiction delivered straight to your inbox?
