The biggest challenge for a leader is not manage his time, I know most of the leaders can do that, but the challenge is to manage time for its team, which is reluctant to do that on its own. In this part of Daily Time Management Tips series, I will talk about how to manage time for your team.
In every team there is a person or two who indulge in incessant talks. Find such people in your team and instruct them not to waste their and other’s time, and if they do not change their behavior, weed them out. A chatty team member not only wastes his time, but he distracts others as well.
Do not ask a carpenter to fix your leaking tap. This is never a good idea, even if the carpenter fixes the tap, for two reasons:
Your goal as a leader is to find the hidden talent in each of your team members and assign them task matching their capabilities. This way you will get most out of your team members and you will also get the work done on time.
An open interpersonal communication among team members and between the leader and the team members plays a very important role saving your time. You should also encourage your team members to bring the problem to you as soon as they find it.
The no-delay approach of problem recognition will dramatically increase the time taken in resolving the issue.
