empowered and they misuse the same. Strikes and lock out
become more frequent. Also labor union gain insights into
management and their functioning and they leak the same.

Without Time Management, nothing
is possible, with Time Management
all things are possible. Time is the
most precious possession of the
human race. Time does not wait for
any body who so ever is a person
either a manager or a worker. One
who kills time, kills his and his
company progresses.

WHAT IS TIME MANAGEMENT?
Managing time effectively, so that right time is
allocated to the right activity.
Making the best use of time, as time is always
limited
Effective time management allows individuals to
assign specific time to activities as per their
importance
Ask yourself “ which is more important? How much
time should be allocated to? “ …Know which work
should be done earlier and which can be done a
little later.

low morale.
8. Thriving on "Busy“-The narrowly-met deadlines (What an adrenaline buzz!)
9. Not Taking Breaks- Try to take a five minute break every hour or two. And make sure
that you give yourself ample time for lunch – you won't produce top quality work if you're
hungry!
10. Ineffectively Scheduling Tasks- All of us have different rhythms, that is, different
times of day when we feel most productive and energetic.
You can make best use of your time by scheduling high-value work during your peak time, and
low-energy work (like returning phone calls and checking email), during your "down" time.

We can conclude that definitely employee empowerment is
a positive element in an organization. However it depends
on the demands & circumstances. Empowering employees
develops self confidence & loyalty in them & leads also to
improved customer satisfaction. Moreover everyone’s
limit is to be defined when empowered.

The best executive is the one who has sense
enough to pick good men to do what he wants
done, and self-restraint enough to keep from
meddling with them while they do it.
