Everyone works hard. The goals still slip, and it was never effort.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of The Leader's Mindset, Jason LeDuc sits down with Lisa Woodruff — who just finished a PhD on the invisible load and leadership in the home, and is the founder of Organize 365 and the author of Escaping Quicksand — to put numbers on the work nobody sees and nobody counts.</p><p><br></p><p>What you'll learn:</p><p>- Where a workweek actually goes: 20-40% in email and meetings, 20-40% in the job description, and only 15-20% left for the projects you measure everyone against</p><p>- Why contingency planning beats time-management planning, and why doing both is what gets work finished</p><p>- The question to ask instead of "why isn't this done?" — and why the answer usually surprises the manager</p><p>- Delegation techniques that hand over whole outcomes instead of single tasks, plus the new manager tips that come with them</p><p>- The move from tactical to strategic thinking, and where most leaders get stuck on it</p><p>- Why every executive, founder and single person with no kids ends up running a household system sooner than they think</p><p><br></p><p>How to reach Lisa Woodruff:Book: Escaping Quicksand: <a href="https://a.co/d/03jDP4fp" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://a.co/d/03jDP4fp</a> Website: <a href="https://organize365.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://organize365.com/</a>Podcast: <a href="https://organize365.com/category/365-podcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://organize365.com/category/365-podcast/</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisawoodruff/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisawoodruff/</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/organize365/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.instagram.com/organize365/</a>How to reach Jason LeDuc:Email: <a href="mailto:info@leducleadership.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">info@leducleadership.com</a>Website: <a href="https://www.leducleadership.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.leducleadership.com/</a>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-leduc-3469823/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-leduc-3469823/</a>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/leducleadership" rel="noopener noreferrer">https:/
