Ep. 399: "Thoughtload" – Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work with Author Liane Davey, PhD

Liane Davey, PhD is a Keynote Speaker, a NYT Bestselling Author, and Co-founder and Principal at 3COze, Inc. where she is passionate about building high performing teams in a world of perpetual change, conflict, and burnout. Mike Petrusky asks Liane about her brand new book, "Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work", in which she argues that the root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today's offices is with our excessive thoughtload. The "thoughtload" includes not just cognitive workload, but also emotional burdens and depleted energy reserves affecting individuals and teams. Mike and Liane explore how workplace leaders should shift their focus from activity and output to meaningful outcomes, ensuring team efforts are aligned with organizational goals. As open office designs and constant interruptions have a measurable negative impact on focus, productivity and wellbeing, Liane says that intentional rest can restore creativity and energy. Environmental, emotional, and behavioral factors all amplify each other, making holistic approaches to wellness and productivity essential, so Mike and Liane share practical advice and the inspiration you need to be a Workplace Innovator in your organization!
