A simple system to help find the time for you and your staff.
One very simple – yet deceptively powerful – technique is Michael Bungay-Stanier’s three-way split: Bad Work, Good Work, Great Work2. Bad Work is work that, in an ideal world, you wouldn’t have to do. It’s fundamentally a waste of time – expense reporting is a good example. Good Work is the work that you were hired to do; that you are good at and know how to do; that others expect of you; where you are a ‘safe pair of hands’. Great Work is work that is a stretch for you; that fuels your passion; that challenges you; that you learn from. Consider colour-coding your diary: Red – Bad Work; Amber – Good Work; Green – Great Work. Then monitor the percentages.
