Introduction Managing time in organizations is difficult because time flows at the same rate for everyone and cannot be 'managed' like other resources. When people talk about managing time, they really mean managing themselves and therefore choosing to use time in the most appropriate way.

Introduction Our ability to use time well depends on the culture or unwritten rules of the organization 'How we do things round here? The personal preferences and habits of the individuals or groups in the organization are important. So are the skills and knowledge of those people of 'time management techniques', for example meeting management.

Introduction The bulk of this note describes how these factors operate and suggests a way forward if you wish to make improvements. Poor time management is costly.

Cost of Poor Time Management Organizations that are poor time managers are in permanent crisis. The urgent drives out everything else and there is no time to think and set up procedures for handling predictable problems. This increases the crises as these problems arrive.

Cost of Poor Time Management Time is spent on doing and not on longer range work like thinking and coordinating. Systems grow and outlive their usefulness because everyone is too busy to ask why they need them. This causes much overlapping and wasted effort.

Cost of Poor Time Management It is often hard to get people to meet and even harder to be reflective and try to learn together. Quality and customer service fall because the system cannot handle long range problems.

Benefits of Effective Time Management The organization concentrates on the important things. People work together in an open way and stop wasting each other's time. They examine everything and eliminate useless work. They set up helpful systems but review them regularly.

Benefits of Effective Time Management People agree on the necessity of working as a team to avoid wasted effort. They tackle long term issues as they arise. More time is spent thinking, less on reacting.

Benefits of Effective Time Management As a result, there is less stress and more effectiveness. The emphasis is on doing the right work appropriately.

Effects of Organizational Culture on Time Management The culture of an organization is an extremely powerful determinant of people's behavior. We all respond to what others expect of us and then get accepted and feel good.

Effects of Organizational Culture on Time Management Unfortunately, organizations rarely plan their cultures to fit their needs. Cultures always lag behind. This is particularly true in periods of rapid change such as the present.

Effects of Organizational Culture on Time Management You can imagine the culture to be a message played into the ears of the organization’s members all the time by some invisible tape recorder.

Effects of Organizational Culture on Time Management Some typical ones are:- “Do everything well", "Don't take risks", "Don't rock the boat", "Do it yourself", "The customers time is always more important than anything else", "The system says.... and you must follow it", "Always do what the boss says without question", "Client contact is what it is all about" "We have all the time in the world, no need to rush" and "Only money making work is important".

Effects of Organizational Culture on Time Management Although these injunctions make sense part of the time and have, indeed, been associated with the organizations' success, they are rigid. There will be circumstances when they are not helpful guides and lead to much wasted time and effort. Organizations need a flexible culture where people are aware of what they should do and respond appropriately.

Effects of Personal Preferences & Habits Managing time is about managing priorities. This is best done thoughtfully. If not, people often do the things they find satisfying, or which get them recognition, or are quick and easy.

Effects of Personal Preferences & Habits They particularly will do these things that are culturally 'correct'. None of these unconscious priority setting systems are necessarily rational and beneficial to the individual, group or organization.

Effects of Personal Preferences & Habits These habits become frozen over time if you do not discuss how work is done. Such discussions can be very helpful indeed in a team. They help the team develop and pass on effective practices. Discussion is a potent way to change attitudes.

10 EFFECTIVE Management Habits When people bring problems use counseling skills and say "What do you think you should do?" Ask for what is wanted and time/effort to be expended when being given a task Give tasks with clear objectives and quality standards

10 EFFECTIVE Management Habits Ask people for a short time limited contribution at meetings while others just listen. Set time limits on casual meetings. Control time spent on the phone. Stop when you achieve your objective.

10 EFFECTIVE Management Habits Have a thought-out personal priority system. Find out the value of your output in your customers eyes, then focus your effort on the most valuable work. Give feedback to your suppliers so they provide what you want in the form you want it.

10 EFFECTIVE Management Habits Always ask yourself "What is the best use of my time right now?". Act on the answer.
