In this episode, Ethan Nash introduces the Challenge-Competency Continuum, a framework for understanding how stress impacts employee productivity. Picture an upside-down "U" with productivity on the y-axis and stress on the x-axis. Too little stress leaves employees unmotivated; too much stress overwhelms them. Peak productivity? It's right in the middle.
The key to finding that balance, Nash says, ask your employees.

With the right insights, leaders can fine-tune workloads, reduce unnecessary stress, and unlock their team's full potential.
