Text 7. In any business it is important that managers
should be effective. They must be able to achieve their objectives. But the
problem is that there are many problems, reducing managers’ efficiency. They
are doing a number of tasks, some rather trivial, other highly important. Thеn managers find that they do not have enough time to
devote to the really important jobs and sometimes they forget which jobs are
important. Because of the nature of the manager’s work, it is not easy for
manager to be effective. He will have to distinguish between important and less
important tasks. He will often feel that he has too many demands and sometimes
he will find it quite difficult to send people away. There will always be
someone or something to keep him from what he should really be doing. Effective
manager learn how to manage their time. They cut out unproductive activities
and never forget that time cannot be replaced. The usual method for manager to
find out how he is actually using his time is to write down the tasks he
performs. Manager should not rely on memory. Manager should note down all the
activities and indicate how long they took. It shows how the manager actually
spends his time at work, not how he thinks he spends it.
