Question
Tackling low effort but high impact tasks first in an action plan is significant because it allows for quick wins. These tasks require less effort and resources but yield high results, thus boosting morale and creating momentum for the team. It also helps in prioritizing tasks effectively, ensuring that the most impactful tasks are completed first. This approach can lead to increased productivity and efficiency in achieving strategic goals.
