Top 10 causes of ineffectiveness at work

We believe that everyone wants to do a good job and have great work flow. Everyday. However, that might not always be the case. Sometimes unnecessary friction knocks on the door, interrupting the focus and causing unnecessary frustration for employees around the world.

Below we have listed the top 10 causes of friction that can trigger ineffectiveness:

1. Being interrupted too often

2. The technology is not working properly

3. Misunderstandings or unclear communication among colleagues

4. Bad leadership or management

5. Lack of time to finish actual work duties

6. Pointless or unproductive meetings

7. The technology or programs are too basic for the assigned work tasks

8. Waiting for colleagues to finish their part

9. Unclear guidelines and expectations

10. Wasting time to book or get a hold on people
