- 39. EFFICIENCY vs. EFFECTIVENESSOften worst performers are those who seem to be working hardest and longest hours . They are always very busy but not necessarily effective…25Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 40. EFFICIENCY vs. EFFECTIVENESSA group of workers and their managers are set a task of clearing a road through a dense jungle on a remote island to get to the coast in order to build a port. Managers organise the labour into efficient units and monitor the distribution and use of capital assets – progress is excellent. The managers continue to monitor and evaluate progress, making adjustments along the way to ensure the progress is maintained and efficiency increased wherever possible. Then, one day amidst all the hustle and activity, one person climbs up a nearby tree. This person surveys the scene from the top of the tree and ....................26Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .

- 44. A SHORT STORY : what is important in life?A very famous professor , was invited to Harvard Business school to give a lecture on Time Management
- 45. His audience consisted of 15 of the most senior CEO’S of US firms.30Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 46. 31The lecture was one of five lectures in a daily workshop , organized by the Harvard alumni, for the CEO’s , all Harvard University graduates.Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 47. Standing in front of this group of elite executives , all anxious to hear his lecture , the professor looked around the room and quietly said : “we are going to do an experiment “ 32Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 48. He put on the table in front of him, a medium sized empty glass aquariumThen , he put in the aquarium a dozen of granite rocks , each a bit bigger than the size of a tennis ball.His admiring audience glanced at him quietly.33Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 49. When the glass container was filled with the rocks up to its top ,the distinguished professor looked at his audience and asked; “ IS THE CONTAINER FULL? “ All as one, agreed: “Yes ! Sure ! “ 34Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 50. The professor had this little cynical mysterious smile as he bent down under the table and raised holding in his hands a big bag full of rubble stones.He poured the content of the bag into the container, shook it in order to allow the rubble to penetrate between the bigger stones.When the rubble reached the top, he stopped.35Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 51. Now, the professor looked at his audience and asked again: “IS THE CONTAINER FULL? “A confused whisper was the reaction and someone the said; “ I think no !? “36Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 52. “That’s correct “ said the professor. again he bent down under the table and raised holding in his hand another big brown bag filled with white sea sand.he poured the sand into the container , while shaking it well , the sand immediately filled all space between the rocks and the rubble till the top,37Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 53. Here again the professor looked at his distinguished audience and asked : “IS THE CONTAINER FULL? “This time the reaction was anonymous: “We think - no !“38Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 54. “That’s correct “ said the professor smiling. . again he bent down under the table and raised holding in his hand a big jar filled with plain water.he slowly poured the water into the container , while shaking it well , the water was absorbed by the sand and immediately filled all space between the sand , the rocks and the rubble till the top. 39Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 55. The old professor looked at his students and asked: “what truth can we learn from this experiment ? “One of his bright students immediately responded: “In Time Management , even if you think you are over loaded with tasks, with some effort you can always squeeze in some more to do ! “Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .40
- 56. ‘No, NO ! ! !’ Said the professor with impatience,“the big truth is quite simple, if you do not put in the big rocks first, you can never add them later on“ 41Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 57. A deep silence prevailed the room.All the executives tried to grasp the deep implication and significance of the professor’s sentence. 42Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 58. The professor stared at each of them quietly, and asked : “ what are the big rocks of your life” : Is it your health?Is it your fortune?Is it your career? Is it your family? Is it your vision and dreams? Vacation? big house? Sports car? Friends?43Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 59. Big Rocks = most important The simple truth is that when we plan our life, either at work or elsewhere , unless we pay attention to handle the big rocks first, we might miss the control of things the most important in life.as if you put the small things first (the rubble or the sand) all of your time will be filled with them and you will not have the time to handle the real important issues 44Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 60. “Imagine”, said the professor , “you are alone in the woods and you have only an axe to cut your way out. A smart man would dedicate his time to sharpen his axe first before he starts cutting.A stupid one will say he does not have the time to deal with the axe as there is too much work to do………….” Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .45
- 61. “ Therefore, as managers you must plan ahead and ask yourself:What are the big rocks at my work?Why am I here ?What is the purpose of my Job? When you find the answer to these questions, put them in first ! “46Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 62. The paradox of Multi task people Because we do not know what’s important, all looks important.As a result , we do all ! People see that we do all and expect us to do all.Because we do all, we are too busy to think what is really important. 47Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 63. The old professor looked with compassion at his astonished students. Gave them a big smile and said: “set priorities ! do not waste your time on trivial matters…”He waved to them and left the room.48Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .

- 74. 1. SET PRIORITIES IN LIFE How do I know what are my big rocks?Divide them to professional and personal priorities.Set your self a vision- where do you want to be in 5 years from now? Start working today towards this future עשה לעצמך רשימה של דברים שהיית רוצה להשיג באמת אם הרופא שלך היה אומר לך שנותרה לך רק שנה אחת לחיות. . 59Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .

Work priorities;Problem: I am over loaded with work and I hesitate to tell my boss that I can not meet the deadline.Solution: I sit with my boss and ask him to prioritize my tasks or assist me with resources . 60Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 76. 3. Planning Good planning is bringing the future into the present so you can do something about it now!61Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 77. MANAGERS TIME; planning Planning is key managerial function but research shows that less than 5% of management time goes on planning.Pareto Principle : 20% of your time will produce 80% of your productive output. Can you afford not to manage at-least that 20% ?62Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 78. PLANNING (2)Mapping and assessing possible obstacles and time wastersRealizing that bad planning has a price; constant frustration, fire extinguishing, waste of resources, and fear to take the blame. 63Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .

- 83. 5. DO LIST - techniques of Time Management Do not rely on slips of paper, use outlook, electronic organizer, diary. write reminders to yourself in accordance to deadlines.Do not procrastinate ! Delegate motivate and train your staff independent staff leave you more time to manage. Always leave open time in your schedule, you need some time for yourself.68Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 84. COMMON TIME MANAGEMENT PROBLEMSNathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .69
- 85. PROCRASTINATION:Procrastination : Putting off the doing of something intentionally and habitually.If you suspect yourself; ask yourself – why am I putting this off?. If there is no reason. Do it. Do not confuse reason with excuse. PROCRASTINATION is world’s number one time waster. Banish it from your life. There is no time like present to do any work. 70Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 86. POOR DELEGATIONDo not spend time on a work that can be done ,to a satisfactory level, by your subordinate.Delegation saves your time and develops subordinates.Delegation improves results by making fuller use of resourcesDelegation implies transferring initiative and authority to another71Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 87. DELEGATION OF POWER Delegation is a great motivator. It enriches jobs, improves performance & raises morale of staff.Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .72
- 88. THE ART OF DELEGATIONDelegation begins with a deep sense of the value and limits of your time. Managers often complain that they are running out of time when their subordinates are running out of work. Delegation is not abdication. Some degree of control needs to be maintained. 73Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 89. DIFFICULTIES IN .DELEGATIONIt’s risky.We enjoy doing things.We don’t sit & think.It’s a slow process.Like to be “top of everything”.Will subordinate outstrip us?Nobody can do it as PERFRCT as I can74Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 90. OFFICE MIS-MANAGEMENTDevelop an efficient system of office working. Muddle makes work and wastes time. Strive for good order in your office. Utilise all resources fully.Handle telephone properly. Don’t let it become a nuisance. 75Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 91. TIME EFFECTIVENESS IN OFFICESYour desk should be clear of all paper except the specific job on hand. It invites you to think about one thing at a time. Concentration is a great time saver.Paper work : Recommended principle is “to handle each piece of paper only once.”Sort papers under : FOR ACTION / FOR INFORMATION / FOR READING / FOR WASTE PAPER 76Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 92. MAKE THE TELEPHONE WORK FOR YOUTelephone is a great time-saving tool in right hands.Plan your calls.Set aside a period of time for making and if possible, receiving calls Timing for each call. 77Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 93. CONTROL INTERRUPTIONSSet a time limit and stick to it.Set the stage in advance : You are very busy with a deadline in light.With casual droppers-in, remain standing.Meet in other person’s office.Get visitors to the point.Be ruthless with time but gracious with people.Use a call-back system for telephone calls. 78Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 94. MEETINGSMeetings are potential time wasters.Meetings are necessary evil; distractions from one’s regular work.Try to say ‘No’ to a meeting where you are not required.Agenda should be definite. Every one should receive the agenda and relevant papers well in advance.There should be a finishing time for meeting. Monitoring decisions to avoid loss of time.79Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 95. MEETINGS (2)Call only those who are involvedHave a written agenda and circulate to all along with supporting papersDo not over-pack the agendaAgenda should not have ‘Any other item’Start on timeStick to agendaBeware of ‘Hijackers’80Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 96. Meetings (3)Come prepared (with facts and figures)Come on timeTalk to the point .Do not try to divert the discussionDo not try to hijack the meeting 81Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 97. BOSS-IMPOSED TIME Keeping bosses satisfied takes time, but dealing with dissatisfied bosses takes even more time.Failing to invest sufficient time to satisfy bosses always results in more & more boss-imposed time. With lesser time for others. 82Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 98. ROLE OF SUBORDINATERealise that Boss has a wider visionDevote time as per organisational objectives and your goalsGo to your Boss only after doing your home workManage the problems which can be tackled at your level.83Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .

- 100. PLANNING THE DAYPrepare a list of priorities for the day based on urgency and importance. Get the timing right.Morning is the time for hard work.Interesting work, meetings and social events can take place in off-peak time. Have work-breaks to over come fatigue.85Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 101. ‘Monkey-on-the-back’Why some managers are typically running out of time while their staff is running out of work.It can be explained by analogy. Monkey is ‘next move’ or problem or opportunity that comes to us.86Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
- 102. MONKEY-ON-THE-BACKMonkeys are task you gave to your staff and belongs to them.By allowing ‘Monkey’ from your subordinates on to your back you volunteered for two things:Accepted responsibility for the problem from him.Promised him a progress report.Now he will pressurize you to do what actually is his job.87Nathan Ronen- GENESIS -ACMS .
