[EP 51] Why contribution, not productivity or engagement, should be at forefront of your mind

See this content in the original post

So Auckland is back in Level 3 lockdown. This certainly will have an impact on your business going forward, but logistics aside, what about your people? Productivity, efficiency and contribution are 3 things that all business leaders expect from themselves and their teams. Mike and Ryan discuss why contribution should be at the forefront of leaders' minds right now.

Mike and Ryan speak extensively on contribution and what that means in a larger sense. The idea of contribution is an important concept for yourself, what you do for your organisation, your customers, your community, our society and our wider planet. Mike pulls from his own research around contribution that he's written into an article he has put in for review to the Harvard Business Review. He speaks about how contribution is doing something for the business that wouldn't be in your job description (Eg. be a shoulder for co-workers to lean on). They both talk about their personal experiences around contribution, highlighting how important it is at not only an individual level, but the wider view.
