Shorter deadlines, endless meetings , interruptions, and ever higher quality expectations are just some of today's time challenges. The fast pace of modern life brings no closure to work issues. Even when away from work, the supervisor's mind constantly races through scenarios that happened at work.
Supervisors are knowledge workers .
They are not expected to punch time clocks, but face the dilemma of too much to do and not enough time to do it. Thus, time, not activities , is the limiting factor. Use of time determines how successful supervisors will be in a work environment that is limited by h ours and human energy. Successful supervisors work smarter, not harder , with time management tools designed to help them make more effective choices about what to do and what not to do. As organizations ask fewer people to do more work in today's environment, the top performers are those who can make the critical choices.
