Abstract

Your ability to use your time as effectively as possible is jeopardized at every turn. New priorities spring up like dandelions in May. Strategies shift, market conditions change, and unforeseeable crises demand immediate responses. But if you look closely, you''ll see that most time management problems stem from deeply embedded individual habits, which, thankfully, can be corrected. One of the most nefarious time robbers is overreaching. Many ambitious and dedicated managers take on new tasks without thinking about how they''ll actually get the work done. Their desire to confront new challenges and build the value those challenges can provide blinds them to the realities of their workload. In the end, they accomplish nothing well. Learn how, with the help of Manager''s Toolkit: The 13 Skills Managers Need to Succeed, to defeat several of the most common manifestations of overreaching.
