This is a great article.
I once gave a version of this to a manager and he replied by telling me that nothing gets done without a deadline.
He kinda made a point. Curious to see what people think about this?
- loriverkutya 4y agoI recommend to tell that manager to learn about how people can be motivated, because yeah, deadlines are one kind of motivation, but there are a huge amount of people who responds much better to other kind of motivations.
- achenet 4y agoI've seen similar things said by Duke Ellington and Kevin Kelly. I think the reasoning KK gave was the deadline will force you to drop all the unnecessary cruft to focus on delivering the essential as fast as possible.
