Strategic Time Usage Generates Effective Leadership Actions
By: Bill Thomas

Leadership is a social activity. In organizations, during their time of leading others, leaders have opportunities to contribute quality, quantity or significance. As leaders analyze, plan and re-order their schedules, their primary objective must be the strategic use, leveraging and management of their time as effectively as possible.

When we encounter disruptions, interruptions and other forms of distractions to our scheduled activities, most of us immediately discount, ignore or underestimate the potential value in these unanticipated events.

An effective leader should never focus on the management of time, you should concentrate your energies on delivering the greatest amount of your significance. We know that being effective means doing the right things. And in the case of leadership, the right things are based upon our contributions of quality, quantity or the value of our significance.

I advise leaders to keep strategic questions in mind whenever they engage in any activity. The purpose of the questions isn’t to generate a one-word answer and it is isn’t to judge the moment as significant or worthless, rather these questions should have competent, strategic responses prepared, organized and ready to go in advance, so that the leader can optimize, leverage or otherwise make the best use of that period of time.

I offer these 2 examples of how leaders might make more effective use of their time, regardless of any interrupted, planned or unexpected event.

(Will You Make Your Time In This Event) Quality Time?
- is it pure? [no distractions, disruptions, delays]
- is it sweet? [warm, refreshing and enjoyable environment or location or venue]
- is it absolute? [secure, obligated to relationship, persuasive or memorable]

(Could This Moment Produce) Quantity Time?
- is it substantial? [is there substance, meaning, fulfillment?]
- is it concrete? [specific, tangible, measurable, realistic, attainable]
- is it clear? [focused, intentional, results-driven, practical]

Or you could use the following dimensionally-based types of questions to determine or manage your significance.

In a socially-oriented space-time, the following dimensional constructions will usually hold true:

=> Where-When?: answers attempt to describe a physically obvious, tangible reality of an event without trying to explain any aspect of human, social or physical capital involvement or influences;

=> Who-What?: answers define and describe the moving parts and players of human exchanges, transactions, interactions or reactions

=> Why-How?: answers usually endeavor to provide causes or reasons for human actions and seeks to identify the ways and means employed to satisfy or attain the desires for taking those actions
