8 Things Efficient Leaders Do Daily

This time of the year we all wish we had more time in a day to accomplish all we have piled on our plates. Becoming “efficient” is the key to adding minutes and hours to your day! Here are eight techniques to incorporate into your daily routine to help you become more efficient and less stressed.

- Very few people can focus on more than two tasks at a time and produce high-quality work. Poor work results in wasted time and the need to exert more energy and time to fix mistakes.

– Productivity is lost when you take on more than you can accomplish. Efficient leaders delegate tasks, empower staff, and hold them accountable. (This is also referred to as “good mentoring”).

– Poor or lack of communication is a huge waste of time. Many of us shoot quick emails with vague instructions, failing to state the objective and expected result. Take the time to construct a well thought out message with an objective, clear instructions for achievement, and the anticipated outcome.

– Set daily priorities, shut your door, and set aside the necessary time to accomplish important tasks. The more you control your calendar, the easier it is to make room for unexpected issues.

– Hours are wasted each day chasing down lost items: car keys, wallet, phone, papers. Take time to organize and identify a permanent location for each item at home and workplace.

– When taking phone calls or attending meetings, announce the amount of time you have allotted, and respect the time others have set aside as well. If you have not resolved an issue within the set time frame, schedule a follow-up meeting for the next day to include the duration of the meeting and expected outcome.

– Overworked and tired people do not perform well and become susceptible to health issues. Take time to relax, exercise and reenergize.

–“Those that fail to plan, are planning to fail.” - Benjamin Franklin. Every evening, take a ½ hour to plan your next day, setting priorities, and allotting time for each task. Each morning, meet with staff and set the expectation for the day.
