O WNERS , D EVELOPERS & M ANAGERS By Glenn Ebersole, Hollenbach Construction How to improve time mgmt. through 7 strategic questions
T ime is such a precious commodity and it is highly valued by stra-
the real strategic questions. It is important to learn how to ask questions and one tip is to have your questions begin with the word “what.” This will assist you in focus- ing your attention and gain clarity. The other remaining part of the question needs to ensure your question will open up possibilities and move things forward. So what are the strategic questions you can ask in order to improve your own time management? Your strategic Thinking Business Coach offers the following list of questions to ask. #1 : “What is the single most strategic thing for me to focus on at this moment?” #2 : “What is the single most strategic action that would enable me to use my time more effectively?” #3 : “What is one very criti- cally important thing that isn’t getting done that must be done?” #4 : “What actions will it take to get this critically im- portant thing done?”
#5 : “What is the next most compelling action for me to take in this moment?” #6 : “What is the best use of my time when thinking in terms of my short-term goals?” #7 : What is the one thing that I am now doing that could and should be done by someone else?” My recommendation is that you commit to focus on improving your time man- agement by asking these seven strategic questions and then taking the appropriate action or actions. You will be glad you did!

that a great way to do just that is to develop the ability to ask yourself the strate- gic questions at the right time. And the beauty of this technique is that you only need to invest no more than sixty seconds to ask those questions before you begin any specific activity, task or assignment. In fact, what I believe you will find by doing this is that you will discover new and better ways of doing the tasks and activities that must be done. The skill of asking the right questions must be acquired and as time goes by you will improve your ability to ask
