Ordinary people think merely of spending time. Great people think of using it.

Why is TIME MANAGEMENT such an important LEADERSHIP principle?
- Time is limited
- You can accomplish more with less
- Improved decision making ability
- Reduced personal stress
- Self discipline
- Improved work/life balance
When someone asks you the following question in an interview...
"Tell me about a time when you were not able to meet a time commitment. What prevented you from meeting it? What was the outcome and what did you learn from it?"
They're really tapping into all of the above
Someone's ability to time manage is such an important leadership and performance trait.
Agnostic of job, understanding why an employer values time management, and why you should focus on improving it can help you, regardless of what your day to day looks like.
Anything else that you could add to this list?
Edit: Amazon has designated leadership principles - time management is not one of them. It is a leadership TRAIT they specifically interview for.

5 年As a leader you would expect him/her to have organizational skills and processes already established. I have an issue with accomplishing more with less concept. A leader needs resources, staff, budget to accomplish the mission/vision of the organization or business. When a leader has to do with less staff and or less budget this sets the leader/manager/owner at a disadvantage and the opportunity to fail.? Also this concept opens up the door to more stress and then leads to a domino effect to dis-ease in all areas of your life. I would say that accomplishing more with less concept is a false narrative that is being pushed down American business's.?
