1. Get clear on expectations

“According to Asana’s data, only 16% of employees say their company is ‘very effective’ at setting and communicating company-wide goals,” says Ottley. “This can create confusion around priorities, generating a lack of alignment within teams.” The result? More time spent on work about work, fuelling the onset of burnout.

“Establishing goals is a critical component in creating the clarity needed to ensure your team understands what’s expected of them and stays focused on the tasks that matter. Setting clear goals also helps ensure that at the end each day, you and your team can log off feeling confident that you’ve made a positive impact.”
