Beyond the basics of productivity, he educates employees on how to communicate effectively, including advice on when to change the channel to a more suitable means of communication. His company is built on trust, with clear expectations and metrics, rather than tracking where and for how long someone sits at a desk or is in front of a webcam. He emphasizes that in addition to the accountability of GTD, there is a larger culture of accountability that supports all in doing their best work.
