Say YES to NO! – and Reclaim Your Focus | S2E013

Remote Leadership

Debra Dinnocenzo discusses the challenges and importance of Saying NO to protect focus, priorities, and productivity. Dinnocenzo offers reasons why Saying YES to NO is critical in light of the daily grind faced by leaders and teams with endless priorities, conflicting demands, and insufficient time and resources to do everything that needs to be done – and to do it well. Leaders in hybrid/remote environments have a particular challenge to be on alert for signs of distress, frustration, and disengagement that can result from the demands placed on their team members. Therefore, creating a culture supportive of Saying NO is essential for remote leaders who must explore alternative ways to achieve the desired outcome and keep the focus on positive problem resolution. Learn why we all need a Stop Doing list instead of just having a To-Do list.
