About This Video
Phantom productivity is the silent killer of mid-size teams: dashboards green, hours logged, work happening — but the output graph is flat. This session unpacks how phantom productivity creeps in, what signals to look for, and how the best teams design around real outcomes instead of activity theater.
Who this is for:
- Founders confused by busy teams with flat output
- Operations leaders chasing real productivity numbers
- Heads of People auditing performance signals
- Managers tired of activity-based dashboards
