Tips for Managers

Don't try to race against the clock because the clock will always win.

Deadlines are fine and necessary in many instances, but don't allow your life to be a series of constant deadlines. Focus on how well you do things, rather than how long it takes, and you will be more effective.


-- Monday Morning, Harvey Schachter
