While
working in a corporate culture, you may face very idiotic situations where you
will find yourself so depressed and it will give you a sign of “job
dissatisfaction”. One who wants to sustain in industry for longer time then it
is utmost important to adopt some basis skillsets at his work. Once you are
tied up with your company which is having global presence, your profile is not
limited only to your domain / core area. You will be forced to handle unrelated
assignments. Despite of this, many people have successfully achieved required
skillsets. If you consider following aspects at your workplace, highest
position will knock your door soon! Following factors are most effective time
wasters in the corporate:
1. Unwanted
telephone interruptions / calls where
you are completely unlinked
2. Unwanted
meetings where you play NIL role
3. No
clarity of action plan
4. Unwanted
resources involved in simple tasks
5. Rigid
processes for execution
6. Half
information
7. No
support from other team members
8. Escalation
tactics
9. No
team work
One
of my senior educated me by saying this: 80%
of our time wastes to accomplish only 20% of our objects. I feel
abovementioned situations are fit case fordisturbance of your corporate growth.
TEAM WORK with a proper discipline is essential for corporate growth.
Manage
your time effectively:
1. Block
your outlook calendar regularly and from time to time
2. Plan
your personal leaves in advance and keep your boss in loop in well advance
3. Delegate
a right work to right subordinates at right time
4. Set
realistic goals
5. Short
term, medium term and long term planning is important
6. Prioritize
your assignments in the criteria: URGENT>IMPORTANT>ROUTINE
7. Set
deadlines and then start working
8. Do
not work to achieve deadlines, work to achieve objectives in the deadlines set
9. Outsource
routine work to outside consultants which will help you to save your time
10. Concentrate
on managerial decision making process instead of execution of task
These
are very small things which will enhance your corporate skillsets in your
organization. If you stick to one management principle “Work your plan – plan
your work”, I believe 5 days a week will be more than sufficient for you‼!
