To track or not to track? That is the question so many business owners and team leaders ask me when wrestling with how to have a better sense of the status of work on their team. 

In a word: yes, track your work. But it's more nuanced than that, especially if we want it to save us time and money. In this episode of Managing Made Simple, I talk about WHY we need to track work, and how to do it in a way that doesn't overburden your team.
