Problematic behaviors regarding time management
Arguably, there exist a number of behaviors that jeopardize time management in organizations set up, as well as an individual’s life. Many at times, such behaviors impact negatively on workplace performance. Above all, poor organization is perhaps one of the most problematic behaviors when it comes to time management. Precisely, poor organization leads to failure in prioritization of different business tasks (Kennedy 116), which should be accomplished within the given timelines. For this reason, such tasks get stalled on the process, which results in an inadequate workplace performance resulting from failure to accomplish assigned business projects on time and prepare for oncoming projects.
The second problematic behavior when it comes to time management is the absence of policies, standards, and procedures crucial in the execution of the various Business tasks. This behavior jeopardizes workplace performance because the result in lack of prioritization in planning and implementations of business projects. In fact, this behavior results in completion of urgent rather than decisive tasks, which decreases the overall productivity of the business. In addition, this behavior results in stunting of an individual’s professional growth (Luecke 18).
Change in behavior that would help resolve the above connoted problems
Notably, resolving the above connoted problems does not take place in isolation but necessitates different strategies that would save businesses from crippling. Establishment of short-term, midterm, as well as long term priorities occurs as one of the most viable strategy that helps in reserving behavioral problems that jeopardize business performance. Presence of such priorities enables individuals to focus on planning, implementing, and completing single tasks within a given time (Kennedy 64). In fact, prioritization leads to prioritization of crucial tasks first rather than urgent tasks. Besides, it enhances the management of decision making processes and not decisions themselves; hence, integrating dynamism in business. Conclusively, presence of such dynamism streamlines the business towards the attainment of set goals.
