Many Managers will organise their priorities in terms of dealing with crisis as they come along. Those that shout the loudest will get the most attention. This takes control out of the hands of the manager, often making him focus solely on employees when the business would benefit from more attention being paid to the customer. Apart from being a stressful situation for the manager there is a risk that of declining customer satisfaction. The allocation of time to making improvements to the company in terms of profit, productivity and customer loyalty is not enough.
Allocating as little as 15 minutes a day to working out how much time you will spend on each task can greatly improve performance and the important steps you need to make to take your company forward will not be ignored and pushed to the bottom of the pile.
Choose a time that works for you, maybe at the beginning of the day or last thing before your leave.
One of the most important things to remember is to set the time limits and stick to them. This will make this procedure a success and a very effective time management tool. In time customer and staff satisfaction should improve, and generally stress for you and your employees should be reduced.
Spending a proportion of your day devoted to goals or outcomes about the organisation of your work will make any manager more efficient.
