Productivity is defined as a measure of worker efficiency. Increased productivity means doing more with less resources (such as time, money, or materials).

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.

Recognize Yourself and Your Team

You’re working hard to overcome obstacles, work with a team, and deliver excellence.  Small rewards allow you the time to reflect on where you and your team hope to be and what you hope to accomplish.

Remember to take time out to keep your team informed, to say ‘thank you’ or provide an incentive to keep up the good work. These actions will go a long way to improve morale and productivity in your organization as a whole.

The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets the people to do the greatest things.
