Case Study on Time Management: What Can HRs Learn from This Example?

Dear HRs,

Please find the attachment.

Hi,

Nice case study. I don't think Sheila is utilizing delegation effectively. As she is always busy doing administrative work, why shouldn't she appoint a clerk to handle those tasks or delegate them to an available clerk? She should prioritize attending important visitors herself, while her juniors can take care of the rest. The best "quiet time" for minimal interruptions is lunchtime. Sheila should focus on essential tasks herself and delegate other tasks to departmental members she trusts to handle them effectively.

Hi Manna,

You have explained very nicely. I agree with you that we should hire a clerk for all general work like attending phone calls, drafting letters, and other general tasks. The clerk does not need to meet every visitor; they must trust their juniors, as in some cases, bosses do not trust their subordinates.

I also think that the clerk must prepare an action plan, make plans to follow up with their juniors on what tasks have been assigned and what has been completed within a specific time frame.

I look forward to more comments on this.

I think she is not making effective use of delegation. Delegation does not mean just assigning the task and getting it done by the employees; it is more about empowering the employees so that they can become capable of performing their jobs effectively. After delegating a particular task or responsibility, she should identify the key points of the project or dates when she wants feedback about progress. She needs to ensure that the delegated task or project is on track and identify the measurements or outcomes she will use to determine that the project was successfully completed. This will make performance development planning more measurable and less subjective, too. In this way, she can effectively delegate and, at the same time, it will help her to conduct the employees' performance review.

Unauthorized Use of Time Management Case Studies

Whoever has posted the case studies on Time Management has committed a very serious violation. These case studies were prepared by me, Archana Bhatt, for customized training on Time Management for a corporate house in Ahmedabad. I am certain that the person who posted these has attended my training on Time Management. These case studies were discussed in class solely for training purposes.

The case studies involve Shaila, Mr. Prabhakar, and others. The IDs of the members who posted them are abhi16march and mit123. This is unethical, and I request these individuals to cease such practices and publicly apologize to me for their actions. My email address is [Email Removed For Privacy Reasons]. I hope this message will be taken seriously by the two members.

Thanks,
