As a business owner, your time is limited; you hired a team of capable professionals because there's no way you can do it all. Even if your organization runs like a well-oiled machine, there's usually at least one team member who causes you more stress than the others. You may not even realize it, but these "time-suckers" hurt your business by drawing your attention away from the tasks you need to do each day.

While there are many types of productivity-zappers in an office environment, none are as disruptive as those who directly impact strategic decision-makers. These three types of people should be removed from your staff as soon as possible.
