How to Manage Your Time Strategically

How to Manage Your Time Strategically

Thought you might be interested in the article How to Manage Your Time Strategically and thought I’d share a few points with you here. I’ve found some relevant information here so if I find more, I’ll be sure to pass it on.

The more time you spend planning, the better you are able to organise the plan, lead others toward achieving the plan and then finally evaluate the results of your plan.

Plan first then meet

Start your day with a plan then communicate the plan with your team (in a quick 15 minute meeting). In the 15 minute team meeting you will not only be connecting with your team but clarifying strategic tasks for the day and find out proactively where the possible bottlenecks may exist and what challenges they are facing to get their job done. Organising the resources in advance with a plan, will help you get better results.

Take the lead

Leading is an important management function so take the lead in the daily goal achievement process by clarifying the goals of the day and put a system in place for your team that will make achieving the goal possible, whether it is by support or organising additional resources. A self driven team is great however, the team will need direction to get important tasks done not only tasks that they enjoy doing.

Cultivating relationships

The more time you spend cultivating relationships, communicating and connecting with your team – the more effective and productive they will become. The communication quality will increase and they will be more committed to finding timely solutions because of the sense of belonging that you have created.
