You climb mountain B in 90 minutes

You are happy about being efficient, you did it quicker than I had estimated

do the right thing. stop sign illustration designNote, you climbed the wrong mountain.

Can you relate this to your workplace?

How many meetings would be productive, how many conflicts could be avoided,

They are running at breakneck speed without paying attention to the direction

They mistake activities for achievements, long hours for performance
