  • Ipatupad ang OKR (Objectives and Key Results) upang masiguro na ang bawat taktikal na layunin ay mathematically na nakahanay sa pangkalahatang estratehikong misyon ng organisasyon.
  • Ituring ang Pagsasanay at Motibasyon bilang dalawang pangunahing kasangkapan ng isang manager upang mapabuti ang pagganap, na ginagawang pangunahing pangangailangan sa operasyon ang pag-unlad ng empleyado, sa halip na isang HR na gawain lamang.

Key takeaways — Why We Sleep

  • Kilalanin ang Pagtulog bilang pangunahing kasangkapan sa pagganap, at unawain na ang paulit-ulit na kakulangan sa tulog ay unti-unting nagpapababa sa IQ, strategic foresight, at emosyonal na katalinuhan.
  • Pangalagaan ang REM Sleep para sa Malikhain at Masusing Problema, na tinitiyak na ang 'Sleep Architecture' ay nagsusulong ng malalalim na panaginip na mahalaga sa pag-integrate ng mga kumplikadong impormasyon sa merkado upang makabuo ng mga bagong pananaw.
  • Alisin ang 'Badge of Honor' sa kakulangan sa tulog sa loob ng iyong kultura, at kilalanin na ang pagod na workforce ay mas may posibilidad na magkamali at hindi gaanong mapanlikha.
