No, a nervous workforce is not a productive one. It’s a busy-looking-busy workforce. 🫠

I have never understood why people often don't tell in the call for the meeting what the meeting is about. Wouldn't that be polite? Are we not supposed to be polite at work? Wouldn't it be good for the recipient of the invite to be able to decide if this should be prioritised over something else?

Yeah this is almost the default now. Somehow you’re supposed to divine the agenda.

The only acceptable reply is, "Yes, I'd like to see you, too." A nervous workforce deserves nervous executives!
