В любом бизнесе необходимо, чтобы менеджеры работали эффективно. Эффективность зависит от следующих умений:

- умения избавляться от непродуктивной, занимающей много времени деятельности. Менеджер должен научиться говорить “нет” людям, требующим его внимания по незначительным вопросам;

- умения передавать полномочия, касающиеся повседневных проблем, своим подчиненным. Важно побуждать людей вносить свой вклад в работу предприятия. Менеджеру необходимо больше времени, чтобы сосредоточиться на более важных задачах;

- умения эффективно распоряжаться своим рабочим временем. Менеджеру необходимо составлять список работ, которые должны быть выполнены в течение, например, недели, и распределять их в порядке необходимости. (list the tasks in order of priorities).

Такой рациональный подход к работе пойдёт на пользу и предприятию, и самому руководителю.
