#63: Don’t waste my time
At the start of a new year, I want to make a prediction: The age has come when people will judge their time spent at work as time wasted or time not wasted. And they will blame their so-called leaders if they feel their time was wasted.
I have seen people so angry, once they thought their time had been wasted, that not even financial rewards could sweeten the bitterness with which they remembered those they held responsible for a loss they could never recover.
Time is the greatest scarce resource of all. This is why I say that true leaders don’t waste your time.
So, dear leader, how do you not waste our time? Make your intentions clear. That way followers can decide whether they want to be part of the outcome you have in mind...., whether they want to invest their time with you.
