Great Leaders are Personally
Productive
The best leaders are always seeking ways to be
personally productive. They constantly reach toward higher goals and take on
meaningful challenges. Great leaders become an example to their staff by always
moving forward.
Exceptional leaders are constantly reassessing
their own performance. They analyze their productivity and find ways to boost
it. Leaders also look to outside resources to gain knowledge and skills. They
take classes, attend seminars, engage in online workshops and read about their
field.
To be an effective leader, you must be efficient
in your own work. If you are disorganized, late, and harried, your team members
notice. They feel it is acceptable to be behind in their own responsibilities.
Strive to meet deadlines and always do your best.
Time means money and needs to be used
effectively. Once you lose time, you cannot get it back. Prepare an agenda or
checklist and stick to it. If something inevitable comes up, rearrange your
schedule to accommodate the change. Be proactive about using time wisely and
make staff accountable for their time, too.
Establish a system of time management. Some
managers use their computer, Smartphone or PDA. Others maintain a book or
personal schedule. Set up a system that works for you. It should be accessible,
simple to use and easy to understand. Also, establish a time management system
for your employees to gauge their productivity.
Because of the dynamic nature of management,
sometimes you need to shift priorities. Handle the situation with grace. Avoid
stress by reevaluating your time and adjusting your schedule immediately. The
sooner you handle an unexpected situation, the more likely you are to get back
on track.
One of the major mistakes made by many managers
is taking on excessive external demands. Never spread yourself too thin. Enlist
assistance when necessary. Know how to prioritize and what you can let go.
Make the most of staff members and
administrators. Maximize their capabilities and put them to work. When everyone
works together and focuses on the big picture, more is accomplished in less
time.
A bonus tip to modern management is to designate
a certain time to read and answer work email. If you constantly check your
email, it becomes an ongoing distraction during the day. Stay focused on one
task at a time and you will get them all done according to schedule.
