The Importance of Managing Cognitive Load in Teams

When managing a large ecosystem, it's crucial to consider the cognitive load of different teams. Neglecting this can lead to mental overload, physically and mentally impacting employees and resulting in delayed tasks, poor quality work, and decreased motivation.

To prevent this, carefully managing the amount of information and tasks assigned to each team member is essential. Key concepts to remember include:

• Recognize each person's capacity for handling information
• Avoid assigning too many tasks at once
• Regularly check in on team members' stress levels
