Time-Style and Strategic Execution:

Enhancing Your Personal Effectiveness


When we manage our time properly, we become more productive at work, resulting in a better work-life balance and more chances for promotion. We are less vulnerable to stress, meaning we’re happier, healthier and less likely to suffer from burnout. We have a greater awareness of the time we spend on unproductive activities, and we can devote more time to meaningful work that connects with a larger purpose.


As a manager or executive, you are being pulled in a million different directions by several important constituencies. You may have to answer to directors, employees, investors, customers, partners, or other stakeholders, and perhaps even politicians and the media. The job can be exhausting; when are you supposed to have the time to think about the future of your organization when you're in meetings all day? When are you supposed to sleep?
