Marc Haine examines workplace negligence and how overbooked managers treat employees as commodities. He references Gary Ridge's observation that people end up serving their calendar instead of their team, a pattern that erodes both productivity and trust.
And so, the biggest one I find is the biggest sin is the sin of negligence. And this is the, I'm too busy. I am going from meeting to meeting to meeting. I don't even have time to breathe, go to the bathroom, eat. Next meeting, next meeting. I had the amazing Gary Ridge on my podcast and he called anybody that works like that is a commodity and is serving a calendar. not their team. They are just a commodity that's moving from office to office, screen to screen. And I couldn't agree with him more.
