As new platforms, apps, and AI tools enter the workplace, employees often find themselves spending more time managing technology instead of focusing on meaningful work. Let's explore the difference between productivity and activity, why adding more tools doesn't always create better results, and how leaders can evaluate whether new technology is actually reducing friction.
