Managing our time is the most important thing we can do to improve the effectiveness, but many of us are just not good at managing time.

And business management thinker, Peter Drucker, noted that to complete the work, leaders need time in large quantities. To be effective, says Drucker, every executive must be able to spend time in considerable amounts. To spend time in small amounts as the resolution will not suffice even if the total reaches a staggering number of hours. This is especially true for time spent working with people.

Drucker recommends to discard things that do not need to be done. Ask yourself this question, “What would happen if all this can not be done?” And if the answer is not going to happen is to immediately stop doing that conclusion.

The next question is, “Which activity in my time that could be done by others with just as good, if not better?” Finally, leaders must ask themselves if they spend other people’s time without a clear purpose. Effective executives have learned to ask systematically and without pretense. “What I do is waste your time without contributing to your effectiveness?”

Drucker made a list of factors that waste time in the company as an “ongoing crisis over” – an event that is always repeated that the company did not learn to deal with it systematically, and ‘mal-organization’, whose primary symptom is excessive meetings. He also argued that having too much staff time can also cause discharge. “The mutually inhibit each other. In a company whose staff a bit, people have room to move without colliding with each other and can do his job without having to explain all the time. “
