How Much Adaptation Tax Are You Paying?
Manage episode 469345826 series 2789921
There's been a lot of talk recently about quiet quitting and burnout.
Tony Walmsley talks about something he's made me think a lot about... the cost of adapting.
For starters we work in a world that is stressful for our biology.
When we then have to change our natural personality to fit a culture or our colleagues it stresses us. These adaptations come at a cost. When we make too many, for too long, we burnout.
Friction comes at the cost of efficiency. Sometimes the business pays the cost in lower profit. And sometimes the employees pay the cost personally.
As a Manager or an Employee it's something to think about... how much adaptation tax are you paying?
