Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work
內容簡介
造成團隊混亂的罪魁禍首,不是工作量(workload),而是「思緒負載」(thoughtload)。成為一位能帶來清晰、平靜與更大產能的領導者。
在《Thoughtload》一書中,《紐約時報》暢銷書作者、團隊效能顧問 Liane Davey 探討當今最迫切的管理挑戰:系統過度負荷、團隊精疲力竭,以及績效下滑。然而,有別於傳統觀點,Davey 認為問題並不在於過多的工作量。當今職場中消耗生產力、引發混亂的根本原因,其實是過高的「思緒負載」。
所謂思緒負載,是指隨著認知與情緒需求不斷增加而累積、且常令人難以承受的負擔,同時還受到身心能量下降的加劇影響。在這本精彩且極具實用性的指南中,Davey 提供了降低思緒負載的具體步驟,幫助你和團隊更專注,並完成更多工作。
這個過程從「你」開始:
管理注意力:透過學習更有效的管理注意力,你能創造出深度專注的時段,進而達成目標並獲得成就感。
處理情緒:透過處理在職場與家庭中觸發的情緒,你更能掌控自己的心境與生產力。
分配能量:透過對能量來源與去向做出明智的選擇,你將能連結到穩定且可再生的資源,為最重要的事物提供動力。
接著,Davey提供領導者可運用的強大工具,協助團隊成員學會自行管理思緒負載。如此一來,你與團隊將更專注、減少倦怠,最終能夠自在地完成更多卓越的工作。
本書以科學為基礎,並專為時間與精力有限的管理者而寫,是 Liane Davey 提供的一本強而有力的領導指南。運用書中的策略,在混亂中創造平靜——讓你與團隊能夠聚焦表現、產出並持續成長。
Thoughtload―not workload―is the culprit causing chaos for your team. Be the leader that creates clarity, calm, and greater capacity.
In Thoughtload, New York Times bestselling author and team effectiveness advisor Liane Davey tackles today’s most pressing management challenges: over-burdened systems, burned-out teams, and declining results. However, contrary to conventional wisdom, Davey argues that the problem is not with out-sized workloads. The root cause of the madness sapping productivity in today’s offices is with our excessive thoughtload.
Thoughtload is the cumulative and often overwhelming burden of increasing cognitive and emotional demands, worsened by decreasing physical and mental energy. In this brilliant, highly prescriptive guide, Davey lays out the steps for reducing thoughtload, so that you and your team feel more focused―and get more done.
The process starts with you. By learning to better manage your attention, you create periods of deep concentration that lead to the outcomes you strive for, and a sense of accomplishment. By processing emotions triggered in the workplace and at home, you gain greater control of your mood and productivity. And by making informed choices about where your energy comes from (and where it goes), you connect with reliable and renewable resources that fuel you to do the things that matter most. Davey then gives you powerful tools you can use as a leader to coach your team members to manage thoughtload for themselves. Doing so, you and your team will feel more focused, less burnt out, and finally free to do more great work.
Backed by science and written with the time- and energy-strapped manager in mind, Thoughtload is Liane Davey’s potent handbook for a better way to lead. Apply the strategies in this book to create calm within the chaos―so you and your team can perform, produce, and prosper.

“Overwhelmed? It may not be your workload. It may be your thoughtload. This is a brilliant book, and the perfect rejoinder to all that productivity BS.” ―Michael Bungay Stanier, bestselling author of The Coaching Habit
“Liane Davey has once again done what she does best: cracked open the messy truth of how we think, work, and relate, handing us a clear, compassionate path forward. Thoughtload is a mirror for every high-achiever who’s ever believed that more effort, more ideas, more involvement was the answer… only to find themselves exhausted and resentful. Her insights into the mental clutter we carry, especially in the name of ambition, care, and responsibility, are both validating and galvanizing. This book is sharp, timely and, like Davey herself, deeply wise.” ―Laura Gassner Otting, Wall Street Journal–bestselling author of Wonderhell
“I’ve known Liane Davey for years, and I’ve always admired her ability to name what sits beneath the noise. At a time when leaders are quick to blame burnout on speed, scale, or AI, Thoughtload points to a more enduring source of strain: the accumulation of unprocessed thoughts, emotions, and decisions that quietly tax judgment and attention. As technology accelerates and organizations grow more complex, the cost of that invisible load shows up where it matters most… in clarity, decision-making, and leadership presence. Davey doesn’t offer shortcuts or optimization hacks. She offers something rarer and more valuable for CEOs: a way to think more clearly under pressure, to lead with steadiness in complexity, and to create the conditions where great work can happen. Thoughtload is one of the most important reads for leaders who need to understand that the future of work will be shaped less by better tools, and more by better thinking.” ―Mitch Joel, cofounder of ThinkersOne and author of Six Pixels of Separation and Ctrl Alt Delete
