5 Ways leaders can boost team productivity

Employees are interrupted 56 times per day. It takes them two hours to recover. That means they spend 60% of their time—or less—being productive. Whether you're back in the office or managing your team remotely, inspiring your team's productivity can be a challenge. In addition to the given fact that there's always too much to do and too little time to do it, normal human distractions like miscommunication, interpersonal conflict, and anxiety can overtake the wheels of progress. The good news is that leaders have the ability to promote productivity in many ways, especially when it comes to team dynamics. When positive team interactions increase, people are more open-minded, insightful, creative, and they absorb meaningful information that allows them to perform better in their roles.
