Leadership and time management

Time management is something we all struggle with.

When you’re in a leadership position, time management is very important. Nothing can substitute time. And the worst part is that once you’ve wasted that time, you can never regain it. 

Leaders know that. Effective leaders use their time management skills to ensure that they maximize their time and accomplish their goals. They also know that when time is managed properly, they can accomplish more in less time.

Here are my tips for today:

• Leaders set the vision, and work backwards from then on. They set long, medium and short term goals so that their teams know what to work on.
• They set priorities or help prioritize activities. Are they urgent or important? What is the impact versus the effort? 
• Leaders get rid of distractions. They make sure meetings are run efficiently. True global leaders do not waste time and know when to stop a task. They keep things simple

I could talk more about time management but I’ll stop here for today 🙂
