A sometimes forgotten aspect of team building is knowing when to give people more work and when to find someone else to do the task. Often you may think that your top performers can handle the extra load and still maintain an excellent performance.
That kind of thinking can lead to problems, like overworked and burned out employees, because people are not balloons. Fill them with too much and they may pop.
In this week’s 2 Minute Takeaway Podcast, we’ll talk about this challenge and how you need to be strategic when it comes to giving your team one more thing to do.
Maybe it’s time to bring Ken Okel to your next meeting…

Ken Okel laughed years ago when a potential employer described him as being “too versatile,” to hire. Rather than run from this title, he’s embraced it.
For more than a decade, TV audiences watched Ken on the news. At several stations, they saw him perform as a TV news anchor, a reporter, a weatherman, and even a talk show host. Ken covered natural disasters, school shootings, and grieving families. It wasn’t always sad as he got to meet celebrities, find out what makes unforgettable people tick, and get paid to do things like free fall 70 feet, ride through the streets in a motorized armchair, and be safely attacked by a police dog.
Ken then moved into the nonprofit world for several adventures. These saw him do everything from running a professional ballet company to organizing more than 100 hurricane relief volunteers.
Today people know Ken for his leadership presentations to companies and associations. Audiences are engaged and entertained as they receive the tools necessary to transform their professional lives and learn about team building. Some enjoy taking part in Ken’s popular Paper Hat Exercise.
