What is your PQ?

Today’s episode is the first since the very first episode to feature more than one guest.  

Neil Massa from Smarter Not Harder & Cliff Edwards from The Realise Organisation join me to talk about their collaborative work on helping you understand your Productivity Quotient, or PQ, and to understand the benefits of knowing it.

As well as gaining an understanding about what your Productivity Quotient actually is, we talk about….

·         What’s the work flow that ends up with you knowing your own PQ?

 ·         What are the four categories of your PQ?

 ·         What’s the real power of a team whose members know their PQ?

 ·         How to get back your mojo!

 ·         What’s the pay-off?
