Optimizing Managerial Control for Effective Change Implementation PPT

This PPT slide, part of the 22-slide Principles of Executive Time Management PowerPoint presentation, focuses on the second principle of Executive Time Management, emphasizing the importance of accounting for time when implementing organizational changes. It outlines the concept of managerial spans of control, noting that a broader span typically requires fewer managers and reduces overhead. However, it stresses the need for leadership to analyze the time necessary to achieve desired outcomes effectively.

The description section highlights the challenges associated with engaging, training, and leading employees within a managerial framework. It points out that overly lean organizations may burden managers with too many subordinates, leading to inefficiencies. While eliminating unnecessary tasks can save critical managerial time, having too few direct reports can result in micromanagement and excessive meetings. The key takeaway here is the necessity of finding a balance between a lean structure and a de-layered organization.

The application part suggests practical steps organizations can take. It mentions the potential for reducing unnecessary work and curtailing excessive meeting culture by restructuring departments that have an imbalanced number of managers. Additionally, it underscores the importance of reorganizing internal governance structures to enhance strategic focus and improve decision-making efficiency.

Overall, the slide provides a framework for understanding how time considerations impact organizational effectiveness, offering actionable insights for executives looking to streamline operations and improve management practices.
