TL;DR
Managers should prioritize effective time management to earn respect and support from their team. Being overly busy is not a good thing as a manager, and can prevent them from performing essential roles.
I see way too many managers making one common mistake when it comes to using their time effectively:
They think that always being busy is good.
If this sounds like you, I’ve got bad news…
Being overly busy is NOT a good thing as a manager. It’s vital that you keep your time well scheduled and make good use of it.
Being constantly strapped for time means that you won’t be able to perform some of the essential roles of a manager.
You need to have time set aside to do things like engaging with your team and teaching new recruits.
In fact, many people think that being constantly busy earns them respect, but it often does the opposite.
If you want to earn the respect of your team, you’ve got to set aside the time to work with them and help them grow.
