Kill procrastination
- Procrastination is to put off doing things we could (and should) do now.
- We all procrastinate at one time or other.
- When procrastination becomes a persistent habit, it is a serious threat to professional and personal success.
Time Management
You can always make more money, but you can’t make more time. Sure, these expressions seem like no-brainers, but do you honestly keep them in mind as you schedule your time?
Problem Solving and Decision Making
Presentation Key Concepts:
- Problem solving is the process of identifying problems and their causes, developing and evaluating possible solutions and taking decision action based upon this analysis.
- Effective managers learn to recognize, screen and define problems at their early stages and then to identify their underlying causes.
- Potential solutions for the removal of underlying causes are generated – logically, intuitively, or both-by individual or group thought.
- Potential solutions are evaluated within constraints imposed by the organization and by a manager’s own attitude toward risk.
- Decision making requires that managers choose between alternate courses of action; a number of mathematical tools can help to systematize the choice, which may be made upon logic, intuition, or a combination of both.
