    Episode 54: The 3 Biggest Leadership Challenges You Will Face as a Senior Manager, and How to Beat Them

    In this episode, host Jimmy Burroughes breaks down the three biggest challenges senior managers face as they move into managing managers, and none of them come down to having too much to do. He unpacks altitude switching, task switching and functional switching, the hidden cognitive costs that quietly drain performance without you noticing. Using a Fortune 500 CEO case study and his own military experience, he shows exactly how each challenge shows up day to day, and introduces the PVC framework as the practical way to beat all three.

    Episode 49: Escape The Multitasking Trap

    Ever feel like you’re always busy but not getting much done? In this episode, host Jimmy Burroughes explores multitasking and its effect on how well we work. We look at three ways people multitask and how recent insights challenge this widespread notion and suggest that the key to true productivity lies not in doing more but somewhat less – at least at once. This is where the concept of monotasking comes into play, shedding light on a more efficient approach to managing our professional lives. It lets you fully concentrate on a task, leading to better quality work, increased productivity, and reduced stress.Free Digital Asset:From Busy to Impactful: Transform Your Leadership by Escaping the Multitasking Trap https://www.jimmyburroughes.com/escape-the-multitasking-trap   Episode highlights: (0:00) Intro (1:11) Do you feel multi-tasking is undermining your performance and well-being?  (3:10) Identification of three types of multitasking activities (5:10) Discussion on reasons why people multitask (9:24) How multitasking affects the brain (13:36) Introduction to the concept of monotasking (14:43) Examples of deep work and task batching as alternatives to multitasking (19:24) Outro   Follow and Subscribe to Jimmy Burroughes LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmyburroughes/ Website: https://www.jimmyburroughes.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimmybleadership/   ---------- Beat Burnout - Ignite Performance is now available to download.
