Most organizational development, six sigma and training professional recommend the working smarter not harder because of the efficiency.
I work with Lean experts and of course this makes sense but, they also are counting work as 100%, not a way to minimize how much someone has to do.
I worked smart to know what can be done more efficiently and afterwards had more time to do more and have a greater impact.
Yep, this is the thing. Most people don't pay enough attention and apply the 'this is the way it has always been done' to every thing they do.
