We’ve linked effort to value.
Hours to importance.
Burnout to “being a team player.”
But here’s the truth:
Doing more doesn’t make you worth more.
More work isn’t more commitment.
It’s often a sign of broken boundaries.
Of unclear goals.
Of energy spent on the wrong things.
And when teams chase worth through volume,
They lose what really matters:
Clarity. Connection. Creativity.
Because the best work doesn’t come from depletion.
It comes from alignment.
Your value isn’t in how much you produce.
It’s in how well you show up.
So ask yourself:
“Am I adding value—or just adding motion?”
And give your team permission to do the same.
It starts with a pause.
A check-in.
Five minutes to reconnect with what matters.
Worth isn’t earned by overwork.
It’s honored through awareness.
