Dont you think so?Wang: Yeah. Everything seems to be in disorder here in our company. And that obviously has a lot to do with poor time management.Zhang: You mean poor time management has caused all these problems. Why?Wang: When time is not well planned within a company, they usually do not allocate blocks of time to specified tasks. They do not have a definite idea of when they should complete a certain task. And Zhang: And I think they often neglect the ordering of priorities. I mean certain tasks need our prior attention. But in our company every task is treated on an equal basis, even if it is a very urgent task.Wang: Thats the point. So time should be planned according to the importance of the tasks we need to deal with.Zhang: So what do you think we can do so that time is managed effectively here in our company?Wang: You mean what procedures we can adopt?Zhang: Sure. Thats what our boss is asking us to do. Right?Wang: Right. I think weve got a lot to do. First, we should make all the staff members realize how important effective time management is to our company.Zhang: Yes, I think we can give them instruction in time management, especially those in supervisory positions.Wang: Right, perhaps we can run a few training programs for them. If need, we may invite some experts from outside to help us.Zhang: Another thing we can do is to make all the managers, or even every staff member, come up with a job description of their own. In this way, they can be pretty sure about what they are responsible for and what they are not.Wang: Yes, thats a good idea. And I think, the top managers of our company should come up with a set of rules as to what kind of jobs should be given priority to. In this way, we can make sure that important tasks are dealt with first.Zhang: Good idea. So to sum up, our company should run a few training programs, and every staff member should write a job description of their own.Wang: And rules should be made as to what kind of job should be given priority to.
