Why Are Some Really Smart People Underperforming These Days?
The demand of modern office life is leading to an increasingly common condition many of us in the field recognize as Attention Deficit Trait (ADT). As I always like to say: "You don't have to be ADD to feel like it these days"! So many of us are struggling with the tsunami that has become our world.
Believe it or not, overworked managers — like your colleagues, employees and maybe even YOU — are suffering from a very real neurological phenomenon caused by brain overload. Previously dependable executives are being turned into overwhelmed underachievers. In truth, the human brain just isn't made to "download" all of the information that is bombarding it on a minute-to-minute basis. We just don't have the data points.
Interestingly, some of the core symptoms of chronic circuit overload and ADT are:
- Distractibility/Underperformance
- Inner frenzy
- Impatience
- Stress
- Procrastination
- Disorganization
Ultimately, ADT wreaks havoc among harried executives, managers and employees, leading to lost productivity that hits companies where it hurts most: the bottom line.
There is a practical and achievable solution.
Professional coaching is an ongoing partnership that focuses on defining and setting goals in order to get great results. Crazy Busy Coaching is structured for business leaders, managers and decision-makers who are intent on changing the workplace culture that fosters ADT. This process is about retraining yourself and your employees through creating and maintaining support, external structures, timeframes and strategies.
Through extensive research and personal experience I have created a proprietary system called Crazy Busy Coaching — a collaborative process that helps executives with ADT or managing ADT in the workplace take action — and get results.
