The Performance Tax of Visible Work
We explore the invisible energy drain of 'visible work'—tasks done primarily to be seen rather than to produce value. Using the example of McKinsey's shift away from slide-heavy reporting, we examine how performative productivity traps high performers in a loop of busywork. Lucas and Luna discuss how to identify these tasks, why they persist even when leadership condemns them, and practical steps to reclaim time for deep, meaningful output without sacrificing career visibility.
