Functions of Leadership: Effective Time Management

Function of Effective Time Management
            Just like the other functions discussed above, the function of time management in an organization rests with leadership. Time management is a critical component of any organization’s management plan. This is because if time is wasted, it cannot be recovered. For this reason, there is need for an organ to be responsible for it. All the efforts of time management are geared towards better organizational performance.

            Harrel (2003, p.213-217), in his contribution to this debate says that the leadership should ensure that the business organization’s time is optimally spent. It should also ensure that work assigned to any employee is completed in good time without compromise on quality. For this to happen, the management relies on its management plan to define and determine how to manage the organization’s time. This means that there has to be good management plan in place for this function to be effective. For the leadership to ensure that employees complete tasks in time, they need to monitor the workers at different levels of performance.
