“Time management isn’t just a personal-productivity issue; it has increasingly become an organizational challenge whose root causes are deeply embedded in corporate structures and cultures.” (Mckinsey & Company, On Point Oct. 22, 2021)

This statement embodies a truth that is seldom discussed. Many of the challenges we define as individual ones instead need to be squarely placed within the organization’s practices and culture.

Time management is one of those challenges. An individual cannot change how they manage their time if they are thwarted by the expectations and practices of their organization. It is not merely a function of setting boundaries.

McKinsey goes on to say that if time management were viewed as an institutional imperative rather than an individual one, leaders would value time as a precious commodity and focus on reducing the barriers for the team and supporting practices to help manage time well.

Now You: Are you conveying to your colleagues that you value their time?
