Time Management Training Benefits For Individuals And Organizations

/

Time management is all about how an individual, a team and/or an organizations (through the corporate culture) spends their time on their priorities. But, effective time management is difficult. The world around us - be it at home or at work is always trying to distract us from our most important priorities.

Distractions are in part what Stephen R Covey, the Godfather of Time Managment called “Busy Work”.

As an individual, you have some control over how you manage your time. Even if your corporate culture doesn’t support efficient use of time, look for ways for you to be in control and to do your best work. For example, protect one solid, uninterrupted hour every morning to work quietly on your most strategic, most creative priority. Make this happen before your day becomes chaotic. In many cases if you get into a habit of one-quiet hour, your team will learn to (mostly) leave you alone. Even better, they will begin helping you protect that hour… and… you wil be setting an example for them to follow.

As a leader in an organization, you have a tremendous opportunity to influence many people and to do great things for the people you support and your company, not to mention your own professional reputation and your career. Imagine the success that will surround you when your team are all working in sync and with shared respect for each other and their work. As I suggested in an earlier post, one of the greatest things you can do to demonstrate your leadership ability is to help your team understand their individual and shared priorities.

So, for you the individual and/or you the leader, I offer you the following list as a sample of the many benefits you and your organization can experience when you learn and embrace effective time management techniques.

Conclusion:

Time management is the key to success. It allows you to take control of your life rather than follow the flow of others as you accomplish more each day, make better decisions, have a greater impact and feel more in control. But it is more than that – it allows both individuals and organizations explore how they can do their best work and expand their abilities so that they are competitive in the future.

Good time management habits help you get noticed and this will help put you in line for advancement opportunities. Too often ‘busy people’ are just busy treading water trying to stay afloat and not actually making any significant progress. Then, the next thing they know technology and competitive advances leave them behind. Don’t let that happen to you! Instead, choose to achieve more and experience greater satisfaction in all areas of your life.
