(For example, average lost time accidents per hundred employees).</p> <p>Whoever tries to staff an organization to avoid weakness will end up at best with mediocrity.</p> <p>The job that fails two people in succession, even though each had performed well in previous assignments, must be assumed unfit for human beings.</p> <p>The job must be redesigned.</p> <p>The executive must also bring the strength out of himself.</p> <p>The effective executive asks himself, “What are the things that I seem to be able to do with relative ease, while they come rather hard to other people?”</p>

Everyone can and will move in on his time.</p> <p>If executive lets the flow of events determine what he does, he will flitter himself away “operating”.</p> <p>Effective executives do not start with tasks. They start with time.</p> <p>They do not start with planning. They start by finding out where their time actually goes.</p> <p>Then they attempt to cut back unproductive demands on their time.</p> <p>Time is a unique resource. (On the contrary, money is actually quite plentiful.)</p> <p>The effective executive asks his team members, without being afraid to hear the truth, <br> “What do I do that wastes your time?”</p> <p>The effective executive focuses on contribution. There are always more important contributions to be made than there is time available to make them.</p> <p>Every executive knows nothing ever goes right. The unexpected always happens. Effective executive allows a fair margin of time beyond what is actually needed.</p> <p>Thus, the first step toward effectiveness is a procedure: record where the time goes, eliminate unnecessary time-wasters, then focus on contributions.</p>
