Time management

Time management. Strategy of overcoming of a problem «shortage of time»

One of transformation problems is shortage of time for transformations. But the problem consists not in absence of time, and in a lack of flexibility of management of time. When all are loaded completely, ability to place truly priorities begins real value.

The forces limiting managerial process by time, bad flexibility in time use is. If this flexibility is small, the majority of programs of transformation dies suddenly and without serious consequences, leaving the company at deadlock. A way to success – revealing and the analysis of the latent hypotheses and the installations generating shortage of time.

What can be strategy of overcoming of a problem «there is no time»?

Peter Synge advises the following.

1. Association of programs. Many programs of transformation can be united in one. For example, quality management programs, the strategic approach, training to dialogues and group decisions, personnel selection, financial planning and so forth Unless the overall aim does not consist in reaching progress on key directions?

2. To allocate time for reflexions. Having employed the loader that it has lifted your refrigerator on the fifth floor, you do not dare to distract its questions when it drags it upward. So why we dare to distract from work people who reflect on the important questions of business?

3. Entrust people to dispose of own time. Usually in business management of time is under construction on "gregarious" models ("geese-geese"). All "herd" moves with the same speed, as the boss. If it distracts and ceases to send on errands the people, they are shipped in full inactivity. So bosses usually consider. But if to give to people to live under the schedules, estimating their activity by results it is possible to achieve more considerable successes.

4. Leisure – a valuable part of working hours. If to people to give time for free dream it does not mean at all, that they there and then will begin to loaf. Weakening time reins, it is possible to get much more productive and qualitative work.

5. It is necessary to learn people to get rid of unnecessary work. It is necessary to carry out the analysis and to eliminate many unnecessary functions. It is reached by a method of reengineering or the analysis of technological operational cards of activity.

■ Reports. This report really is necessary? Or whether it is possible to spend for it of time twice less?

■ Statements. Why on this document it is necessary to collect so much vising signatures?

■ Sessions. In this session actually there is a sense? Perhaps they can be made more shortly? Or to spend in a mode of teleconferences or by e-mail, to avoid long and not cheap trips?

■ Measurements. Than it is possible to measure efficiency of different procedures and how it is possible to raise this efficiency?

■ the Policy and procedures. In what degree of the scheme of a payment and awarding and similar stimulus aim people at more effective work?

■ Functions. Whether all functions are necessary? For example, who has got such system of protection? It should carry out what functions and what it is possible to clean, how excessive? From what duties I would like to get rid and shift them on another? Than I would not need to be engaged?

■ the Control. I could supervise what questions less attentively? It is possible to allocate three types of problems:

— «Barking dogs» – important and the pressing problems.

— "Dogs-taciturn persons" – strategically important, but not the pressing problems.

— «Sleeping dogs» – not discussed problems ».

6. Refusal of cheap politics. Clearing of the company of cheap politics and bureaucratic dust releases to 20 % of a time resource. People can discuss hours political intrigues in own company. If your schedule is distributed on questions for 15-20 minutes the question is lawful: «If the question can be solved for 15 minutes why in it the main head should be engaged?».

7. It is necessary to be able to reject insignificant requirements even if they proceed from the higher heads.

8. It is necessary to experiment in due course. It is necessary to be engaged in the answer to questions: «If our purposes so are important, than we are occupied and how to make, that we did not spend time for nothing?»

Walk as the miner at all points and with courage looking on the activity, make the ruthless diagnosis to the habits. What from specified you ignore and why? Explain at least to itself the true reasons not to carry out such simple things.

There is still variety of things which ignore almost the same as ignore sacred precepts of type «do not love the wife near» or «arrive with others also as would like that arrived with you». And it concerns that, on what it is necessary not to save this most precious time, and, on the contrary, to invest. These investments will give the greatest dividends.

So, it is impossible to save time for the following:

1. The meeting with each worker to explain it the purposes and prospects of its work.

2. The organisation of obligatory employment for the purpose of orientation by traditions, values, vision of prospects and organisation strategy.

3. Study together with the employee of a standard set of procedures and ways of performance of the work charged to it.

4. Study together with the worker of that understanding as its personal activity is entered in wider channel of activity of the organisation and the decision of problems of consumers.

5. Revealing of understanding by the worker of what firm strategy and as he sees ways of its achievement on the a place.

6. Revealing of, how the given employee an internal competition or rivalry between colleagues sees to direct it to the necessary channel.

7. Working out of concrete indicators of final desirable products of its activity in a measured kind and in the form of that added value for the sake of which there is its post.

8. Demonstration of belief in possibilities of people to reach objects in view.

9. Revealing of potential hindrances, difficulties and barriers, which see the executor to stipulate possible measures of secure or the help in case of their occurrence.

10. Проговаривание possible compensations in case of successful achievement of objects in view.

11. Проговаривание the form and a quality monitoring behind process of performance and forms and terms of the reporting of the executor.

12. Formation of groups or brigades (if in it there is a necessity) and the organisation of their joint discussion of the ways of achievement of objects in view.

Putting in these spheres the time, you receive such powerful energy of people which will create huge result in unit of time, having kept a lot of time for other problems.
