Part 2
I, Wisdom, will make the hours of your day more profitable and the years of your life more fruitful!
King Solomon
Wise leaders concentrate their time and energy to the 20% of activities that provides 80% of the outcome.
The main difficulty with prioritizing and making the most important first can be likened to the contrast between the clock and a compass.
The clock stands for meetings, the activities and commitments, what we do, and how we spend our time.
The compass is of direction, vision, values, principles, what is important for our leadership of ourselves and others.
Wise leaders also support their co-workers to constructively deal with time. The leader who makes their co-workers’ priorities to be consistent with the group’s most important choices will effective lead the work forward.
The leader is important for the co-worker as a sounding board on how they can be sure to use their time in the best possible way.
Wise leaders know how to invest their time to support and help their employees develop and grow.
