“If I had more time I could spend it with my people.”
“Of course it would be great to visit that facility, but I just don’t have the time.”
No doubt, when you are leading an organization, everyone needs you and your time is under constant pressure.
One of the simplest ways to get a handle on your time is to put two documents in front of you: your calendar and your business goals.
Look closely at every appointment that found its way onto your calendar for the next four weeks.
How well do these meetings, calls, and other obligations match up with achieving your business goals?
Do they have a close “line of sight” or do you have to talk yourself into making them relevant?
To be sure, if you don’t have time to develop your people, something is probably out of whack.
What could be more important? Your calendar is all about your priorities.

Don’t be a victim by letting others decide what is relevant to your mission. Continually ask the question, “How does this specific time allocation relate to hitting my business goals?”
By using this filter and allocating your time accordingly, you’ll be ensuring that time truly is on your side.
