I used to work for a Stephen Covey fan that had us think according to this quadrant. The main tension was between working ahead on important projects (doing quad 2 before it hits quad 1) without accidentally doing irrelevant quadrant 4 work instead. Staying in true quad 2 for most of the week was brain-burning. It was fun to poke her about her quad 3 work becoming my quad 1. :) We were encouraged to help our managers prevent that from happening to us by building better systems (quad 2.) Low tolerance for recurring busywork. Good lessons for this young employee from this framework being seriously applied in a team environment.
