“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is - In Our Businesses Today?”
“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is - In Our Businesses Today?”
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group ™
The title of this article is derived from the title of a very popular 1960s song by the band, Chicago. It is also a question that needs to be asked in our businesses today. Do you know what time it is in your business when it comes to how much time is wasted in business each year? The best answer is probably, “Time to stop wasting time!”
It has been reported that the average person spends 150 hors each year looking for misplaced information. Wow, talk about a time waster! Think about the magnitude of this type of lost time when accumulated over all our businesses and organizations. What would happen if you and others in your company spent those 150 hours doing something productive? Imagine what could be achieved. Okay, let’s list a few thoughts that hopefully will stimulate your imagination to determine what you can do. You could:
1. Spend more time working “on your business” rather than only working “in your business.”
2. Spend time working on your strategic thinking and planning efforts and clearly communicate the company vision.
3. Identify tasks that could be delegated to others.
4. Manage employee’s use of technology to reduce the wasted hours on email, instant messaging and the Internet.
5. Seek ideas from employees to increase efficiency.
6. Use the “found time” to market to existing clients or to seek new clients.
7. Identify other sources of wasted time, beyond the searching for misplaced information and develop a plan to reduce or eliminate the largest source of wasted time.
8. Develop a list of “projects” or “Things To Do” with any “found time” from eliminating wasted time.
Our time is a very precious commodity. Everyone, regardless of his or her station in life, has the same amount of time in each day. Once time is spent, it is gone forever, which is why it is so critical to take a strategic look at how we spend our time. If you want to look and learn how you and your company can make more strategic use of time and waste much less time, please contact me today through my website at www.renaissanceman4u.com or by email at jgecoach@aol.com .
