This PPT slide, part of the 26-slide Types and Symptoms of Poor Time Management PowerPoint presentation, addresses the issue of inadequate time management guidance for new managers, emphasizing how this deficiency leads to misallocation of time on less productive activities. It highlights 2 specific archetypes of poor time managers: Networkers and Cheerleaders.
The overview section succinctly states that a lack of structured time management guidelines is prevalent among new managers, resulting in significant time being wasted on tasks like emails and unnecessary meetings. This sets the stage for understanding the broader implications of time mismanagement within organizations.
In the description, it notes that while both archetypes appear to engage in valuable activities, their focus is misaligned. Networkers prioritize face-to-face interactions with external stakeholders, potentially at the expense of internal strategic discussions. On the other hand, Cheerleaders invest a notable portion of their time—over 20%—in motivating and engaging employees, which may detract from essential strategic planning.
The example provided illustrates this misalignment further. It points out that while Cheerleaders may neglect external stakeholder interactions, Networkers similarly fall short in engaging with their own teams. Both groups are ultimately spending less time on critical thinking and strategizing, which are vital for achieving organizational objectives.
The slide concludes with a categorization of the 2 types of poor time managers, reinforcing the idea that understanding these archetypes is essential for improving time management practices. This insight can be valuable for organizations seeking to enhance productivity and align managerial efforts with strategic goals.
