Most businesses still think productivity is about hours worked instead of results delivered.

They reward the people who look busy, sit in the most meetings, and log the longest hours—while burying their real high performers under more work until they burn out.

In this episode of Rebellious Business, we’re exposing why tracking input instead of impact is killing real productivity and why businesses that refuse to change are pushing their best people out the door.

Inside, we break down:

• Why your work hours don’t matter—your results do
• How high performers get punished with more work instead of rewarded for efficiency
• The real reason businesses still obsess over time-based tracking
• What companies must do if they want to measure actual performance instead of performance theater

If you’ve ever delivered twice the results in half the time—only to be given even more work while others coast—this episode is for you.

Why do businesses keep rewarding the people who talk the most instead of the ones who actually get things done?

You know the type—the Big Talker. Always in the meetings, always making bold claims, always spinning a vision of what’s just about to happen. But when you look closer, there’s nothing real behind it. No actual progress. No measurable results. Just another excuse for why success is right around the corner.

Meanwhile, the real high performers—the ones quietly holding everything together—go unnoticed. Because they’re too busy producing to play the visibility game.

In this episode of Rebellious Business, we’re breaking down:

• Why leadership mistakes talking about work for actual competence

• How Big Talkers keep getting rewarded even when they fail to deliver

• Why businesses lose their best people by ignoring real producers

• The simple shift companies need to make if they want to measure performance instead of performance theater

If you’ve ever watched a Big Talker rise through the ranks while the real work goes unrecognized, this episode is for you.

High performers don’t create breakthrough results in five-minute gaps between meetings. They don’t produce game-changing work while juggling shallow tasks, endless emails, and constant interruptions.

Yet, businesses demand transformation while refusing to make space for it.

In this episode of Rebellious Business, we’re exposing a broken system—one where companies assign high-impact projects but never protect the time and focus needed to execute them.

Inside, we break down:

• Why big results don’t happen in the cracks of the workday

• The myth that high performers can juggle everything and still produce at the highest level

• How businesses sabotage their own success by forcing key projects to fight for survival

• What companies must do differently if they actually want the big results they keep asking for

If you’ve ever been handed a “critical project” but still expected to keep up with business as usual, this episode is for you.

🔊 Listen now to learn why great work only happens when companies make the hard choices to protect it.
