Your column this week on working smarter has me rejuvenated to continue the good fight. I believe that relentlessly, repeatedly asking how we can work smarter is the most important question of our time. In doing so any dialogue must eventually include the question “What are we doing to dumb down our organization that should be stopped immediately?” This requires a continual willingness on the part of leadership to share responsibility when results fall short of those envisioned by asking how they may have affected outcomes by constraining effective action.

The Heath brothers in ‘Switch’ provide a pretty simple formula for addressing change when change is hard. There are few things harder than learning to do things a new way especially when you have a history of success. I agree that “how” to work smarter is no mystery, I am more concerned about the motivation to do so.

This needs to happen more often. For anyone who’s interested, I see a direct connection between what you just said and the work of the future of work guys. Now if we can all get in the same boat, or at least similar boats, and go the same direction.
