Today’s business culture places a high premium on success: meeting our objectives, making the deal, closing the sale, meeting deadlines. Such demands can produce beneficial results. But the pace and speed can also keep us on edge, constantly chasing outcomes and at times neglecting the very work that needs our attention. We will examine how the effort of “non-achievement” can bring an intelligent and vital balance to this relentless pace to succeed and in turn cultivate sanity, respect and well-being in the workplace.
