1. Fear of failure: if you expect to succeed at a task, you are more motivated to do it. The harder or more complex the task, the more likely you are to procrastinate.
2. Low value: The more you value a task, the more likely you are to do it.
When we procrastinate, it’s actually a sign that we may not see the correlation between the task and our larger goals and values.
3. Immediate gratification: we prefer to feel better now even if it means feeling worse later.
I’m working across 4 companies of varying sizes at the moment
Here are the most common causes of friction I see and how you can prevent them….
Clear strategic vision
With a clear understanding of where the company is headed (repeated over and over in every meeting), decisions can made at every level without the CEO in the room.
The teams have the destination and can figure out the best way to get there.
Clear brand strategy and positioning
Without an understanding of you WHY - communicated and understood across every department - you will become a bag of features.
