Do you remember Parkinson’s Law?
“Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.”
If you are unable to set time deadlines for yourself, you will stretch the work to fill the available time. A leader’s administrative efficiency starts with you.
What does administrative efficiency mean?
It means that you need to organize your desk, remove clutter and distractions. I strongly believe that do one thing at a time rather than multi tasking everything and put finished work out of the way. If you maintain the right focus, it will take you far ahead.
Use the “FOUR – D” method to keep your focus on the right administrative tasks:
- Do
- Delegate
- Delay
- Dump
Use discretionary powers to demonstrate your Leadership Style and enhance your administrative efficiency
You are the best judge of what has to be delegated, what has to be done by you, what has to be delayed and what needs to be dropped.
