Are you looking to improve time management skills?

Your success as an effective leader requires a wide range of skills. One of the most important of these skills is the ability to effectively manage your time. Knowledge of the work itself, skills in interpersonal relationships and the development of creative and useful ideas for continuous improvement in productivity and quality are essential to your success. However, it is time management that determines the efficiency and the effectiveness you achieve in each of these other important areas. The effectiveness of the activities in each hour of your day, not the number of hours you work determines the results you and your work group accomplish.

Improving the overall effectiveness of your people’s time management is a key responsibility within your role. Obviously, you can plan, schedule and allocate tasks to maximise the effectiveness of their time. However, you can achieve even greater success when you develop your people’s individual time management skills. A team committed to maximising effective time management at all levels can achieve astounding results.

A few time management tips and tools you can use to improve productivity include:

• Reduce the time required for obtaining resources, supplies or information needed to get the job done
• Improve the pattern of workflow to reduce duplications
• Reduce the error rate to avoid reworks
• Set up a schedule to reduce or eliminate down time
• Identify and focus time on High Payoff Activities at both the individual and team levels
• Eliminate non-value added work.

The following time management strategies can be generalised to most situations to maximise productivity:

• Increase productivity through better motivation
• Increase team member output with additional training and development
• Increase productivity through the effective use of technology
• Increase productivity through continuously improving current systems and processes.
