How to be truly productive in your career? Consider the P to PC ratio (Episode VI of Success Series) – MetaMorgan TV

You probably haven't considered this before, but it is a vital concept, especially when you find yourself feeling like you need to work harder and longer hours - or in getting your personnel to work harder and longer hours.

I was a bit frustrated that there wasn't more about the "people" in the meeting, for reasons I discuss on the video.
