I was speaking on behalf of personal productivity. Not team productivity. But there are definitely failures in professional sports too. When one player doesn't feel like he's not being included enough then communication breakdowns ensue.
- vacri 14y agoMuch of this debate centres around whether you define 'being productive' as 'enjoying your work' or 'providing value'. I've certainly done work which was enjoyable and progressed quickly in it due to that fact, but in the overall scheme of things had negligible value for the company - that's not productive work, in the sense that most people would use.
- sherm8n 14y agoWell, which is more important for you personally?
- vacri 14y agoHaving fun, obviously, but that's not the title of your article.
- sherm8n 14y agoNeither is providing value.
- vacri 14y ago'Productivity' is the efficiency of creating product. You'd be drawing a pretty long bow to suggest that most people would call 'having fun' product over 'something that provides value'.
- sherm8n 14y agoI don't think I implied anywhere that having fun meant being productive. I did imply however that having fun will make you more productive.
