To improve the effectiveness of managers, the first step is to record their time spent on the actual situation. In fact, many effective managers are often a time to maintain such records, on a monthly basis to review the show. At a minimum, effective managers tend to three consecutive four weeks for an hour a day, records, records of two or three times a year. With time, the record consumption of samples, they will be able to self-review.
Six months later, they will find their time consumed very chaotic, wasted on these pointless little things. After practice, they must have progress on the use of time. However, management time must be sustained in order to avoid wasting the state to go back up.
The second step is to do a systematic time management. We need to be unproductive and time-consuming activity to find out such activities as far as possible be excluded from the schedule. To do this step, you can ask yourself these three questions.
1. First of all to find What's the matter do not have to do these things done is completely a waste of time, does not help the results.
The time out to record every item asked: "This thing, if not do it, what will happen?" If you think that "there will be no impact", then the matter will be the immediate abolition.
However, many busy people do every day that they find it difficult to break away from some things, such as invited speakers, who attended the banquet, as members and attend the guidance of the class, I do not know how much time they take up. In fact, to deal with this kind of thing, as long as the trial-degree look at whether the contribution to the organization, whether for his own contribution to the organization, or whether the contribution of the other party. If you have not, as long as the decline would have had.
2. The second question to ask is this: Time record of which activities can be participated in on behalf of someone else without affecting the results?
I have never seen a manager, a review of their own time records, do not change their habits, will not have to personally handle the matter to others.
Just take a look at the time record, he can immediately discovered that all his time spent on unnecessary things, while indeed important thing for his own want to do something, and he has promised to do, he did not have time to deal with. In fact, if he really wanted to do something, as long as someone else would be able to do to others would have had.
Official travel is an example. Professor Parkinson, "Parkinson's Law" a book that: To force the incompetent supervisors retire, the best way is to let him continue to travel.
3. There is also a waste of time factor was the manager can control themselves and can eliminate the waste of other people's time --- managers.
This phenomenon is not obvious, but there is a simple way to diagnose it: go ask your subordinates. Effective managers understand that there are systematic and sincerely asked his subordinates: "Please think about it, I used to do what a waste of your time and do not produce results?" Asked such a question, and asked a dare each other the truth, is the characteristics of effective managers. Even if managers are dealing with are quite effective in their work approach may still be caused by someone else waste of time.
Many managers are aware of what things would be a waste of their time, but they do not face this problem. They are afraid that runs the risk of causing an error. Little do they know even if there is an error, it can quickly make up. In fact, a drastic reduction of unnecessary work manager, there will never be too much risk. To a substantial reduction of unnecessary and unproductive work, work is carried out much faster.
