Why is it important?
Entrepreneurs play a key role as “work designers,” shaping how they organize their daily tasks to grow their business. Successful founders know that this process isn’t one-time—they continually adjust their work based on their values, resources, and market needs. They should make thoughtful choices to ensure their work feels meaningful and practical. Finding a balance between sticking to a routine and staying flexible helps businesses adapt and thrive. Regular reflection on how they work can help founders build stronger, more successful ventures.
