Project overload is real. But as a leader, it can be hard to tell whether your team needs more resources or just could be working more efficiently.

If your team is still struggling after these steps, it might be time to hire more people. Adapted from “What to Do If Your Team Is Too Busy to Take On New Work,” by Dutta Satadip
