29: The Positives and Perils of Multitasking

Multitasking is talked about lots, but rarely understood. In this week's episode, Dave welcomes back Bonni Stachowiak to talk about multitasking, both personally and professionally, and what to keep in mind when leading others. Community Feedback CoachingforLeaders.com/feedback Interview with Dr. Bonni Stachowiak Bonni recommends the book The Myth of Multitasking by Dave Crenshaw as a reference tool for leaders.

I cannot believe that I never took the time to read this before. Basic principles, period. We have lost so much as a society. Much of it is common courtesy. The direct connect phones that beep and then your voice transmits are one of the prime offenders. They seem to make it okay to just beep and interrupt a conversation. And the owners always just top and respond. Sorry, digression. Steve Jobs seemed to break most of the principles Mr. Carnegie laid out. What lesson do we take from that?"
