What seems like an ironic idea may actually be a brilliant one.
In an op-ed for Inc., Lolly Daskal makes a convincing case about how to harness the efficiency of lazy employees.
The argument for lazy employees, she writes, is they're the ones who "know the shortcuts, the efficiencies, how to eliminate problems, keep things running smoothly, and save time."
Bored, idle, distracted and slow employees need to be challenged, called upon, assigned tasks and discover themselves, she says.
Daskal, the president and CEO of Lead from Within, notes there is a distinction between employees who do the bare minimum and those who may work in an unconventional manner. Her article is meant to awaken or enliven something in the latter, she claims.
