No flow = overtime. No ownership = overtime.   If overtime has become \u201cjust part of doing business,\u201d it may be time to challenge that assumption.   It\u2019s fixable but you have to fix the system creating it.   Dominic also explains how to get the professional development tool featured in this episode.
