This week’s Marketoonist gives some extra attention to our age of distractions.
Fishburne’s take: Leaders can influence how their teams use always-on 24/7 tools like Slack to avoid the drawbacks of always-on 24/7 working. Shonda Rhimes’ email signature reads: “I do not answer calls or emails after 7 p.m. or on weekends, and if you work for me, may I suggest that you put down your phone.” I think the same tone could be set by leaders in the age of Slack. We have to learn to navigate the tradeoffs of faster communication and productivity — and set boundaries.
Why we care. Work-from-home expanded the possible hours that someone could get work done while balancing all the unexpected life challenges that came with a global pandemic. It also eliminated the ambiguity of in-person workspaces: should I walk two desks over and tell my coworker something, or should I Slack them? (Answer: you should have Slacked them.)
