This is no ordinary time management book as first appearances might suggest. This book is designed to give you all the information that you need to create an agenda for effective and successful leadership.
The title of the book itself, Time to Manage, has not one, but two clear meanings. The first meaning is about how to manage time. The second is about how to manage people. These two are by no means mutually exclusive, and this book will explain not only why this is the case but also exactly how the two can be used in concert to create the necessary conditions for sustainable competitive advantage.
The reader will find in these pages a step-by-step guide on how to ensure as a manager and leader that you use both your own time
and that of your team(s) in the optimum way. At first, the book will teach you how to make the best use of time management and
planning tools. Here we will be talking mostly about time management itself.
However, efficiency on its own will never be enough, and the book goes on to discuss how to become a more effective leader not just
through how well we do things but also because of what we decide to do (and sometimes more importantly not to do). Doing things
well remains important (efficiency), but doing the right things is even more so when creating the sustainable work environment of
the future.
Ultimately this book will give you guidance as to what types of management and leadership choices need to be made so as to ensure success. By adopting the management techniques and principles we discuss in this book, you will be in a position to manage your time and create your own unique and effective agenda for leadership.
