Hub You - Poor Business Time Management Drains Profits, Increases Costs and Suggests Poor Leadership
Combine Your Yellow Page Ad and Web Site for Maximum Profits Dr. Lynella Grant A Yellow Page Ad isn't Enough Any More An unquestioned "must" for any small business has been to run an ad in the Yellow Page Directory. Since most customers were local, that was enough to establish itself as "open for business." The annual Yellow Page ad represents the largest promotional expense for many enterprises. Yet, Yello
Now, let’s assess a dollar impact to each of these problems facing the employees. For 100 employees who have had one of these problems each and every workday is $100 per day. This $100 daily loss grows to $26,000 annually. When combined with the loss wages, the hit to the bottom line is almost $100,000. If the company has 250 empl
I like Simon, one of three judges on American Idol. I find his feedback refreshingly honest. And while his words startle me with their ego wounding potential, the traditional feel-good, let-you-down-easy, sugar-coated feedback is not much of a gift. It’s hard to tell someone they’re not good enough and their dreams are not going to happen, at least in this venue. But not telling them is no gift either. Some
During the last 10 years in my performance improvement and executive coaching work, I have consistently asked the following simple question to even the busiest of CEO’s, entrepreneurs, small business owners, executives and front line employees: Do you waste 12 minutes a day What is surprising is the consistency of the answer at all levels: Yes! This consistency suggests that individuals at all levels need to better self-manage their activities so that they can achieve the results being demanded of them.
Businesses understand the economic impact of wasted time. Those 12 wasted minutes each day translate into 1 hour per week or 52 hours per week. Using an average salary (without benefits) of $30,000 amounts to a minimum annual loss of $576.92 per employee. Since most organizations in this country are considered to be small businesses with less than 500 employees, then using 100 employees creates a negative impact of loss profits and productivity or performance of $57,692 for just wages alone.
However, wasted time is not just a performance problem such as the lack of personal self-management, but also can be a greater symptom of significant organizational leadership issues. The question needs to be asked: Why is there wasted time? In many cases, the wasted time can be a direct result of some of the following leadership problems:
- Lack of organizational direction from not knowing what to do next to not knowing the overall business goals
- Micro management that is waiting for leadership approval to proceed
- Poor interpersonal skills from communication to poor decision making and problem solving skills
- Poor processes, policies and procedures
- Accountability (Disconnect between performance and results)

However, there are companies who are looking for something more with regard to the answering service that

Now, let’s assess a dollar impact to each of these problems facing the employees. For 100 employees who have had one of these problems each and every workday is $100 per day. This $100 daily loss grows to $26,000 annually. When combined with the loss wages, the hit to the bottom line is almost $100,000. If the company has 250 employees, this loss of wages and performance would increase to over $200,00. A company of 500 employees would experience a potential profit loss of over $410,000.
A recent national survey by Salary.com suggests that most employees waste 2 hours each day not just 12 minutes. Also, many employees face more than one problem each day. These facts suggest that poor time management potentially contributes to far greater loss of profits than the $100,00 to $400,000 as previously computed.
To reverse this drain on the profits requires management to truly assess their problems and change their beliefs that time management is just a “personnel” issue, but instead is an organizational issue that demands effective leadership.
