Do something else

Sometimes we do not want people to do more work .. we want them to do something else instead. If activity is non-productive, we definitely do not want more of it. It costs us money but does not contribute to profit. So you need to work out what is productive activity ... and what is not. ("How will what Joe or Jean is currently working on help my business thrive and grow?") Then you need to focus your workforce on that productive activity ... and find ways of eliminating or minimising anything which is non-productive. .
