One of the ways we like to make our mark as leaders is by introducing various ideas, initiatives, items, and changes to the shop that we hope will make an impact. I know I have certainly seen putting new things in place as my main service to those I was tasked with leading. Thing is, instead of creating a positive impact as we hope, it often does the opposite.  On this Shift Break we chat briefly about why it is a good idea to limit new things as a way to avoid burning your staff out and to refine the things you currently have in play.  Related episodes:  080 : Changing things in the Cafe : A workflow for Refinement 074 : The Life Changing Power of Good Authority w/ Jonathan Raymond 267 : The Power of Delegation 181 : Organizational Self-Knowledge Grass Roots Improvement: Tapping into the power of your staffs observations and ideas Source vs Supplement Slowing down your Response Time   Visit our Sponsors!!!
