AusCorp Connect Pty looked closely at the article and was surprised to see that up to 70% of a CEOs time is not being used efficiently. Using the article and the firm's own experiences in business, AusCorp Connect Pty created their own management guide to enhance productivity for business owners. Below are some of the tips on how to drive productivity that are listed in the guide.
- Don't be afraid to say No. Saying no is hard, especially if a CEO has a wealth of experience and knowledge that they want to share or they need to return help to those who have helped in the past. CEO's must learn where to draw the line. Try 'no' templates that can help with responses to common situations and requests
- Be productive with emails. As a CEO, if the email can be responded to in less than two minutes, do it immediately. If it will require over two minutes, move it into the task manager folder to process later. This will help to prioritise tasks and email and will save on time.
- Manage energy levels. Many CEOs sit a lot. It is vital for health and also business ability and creativity to be active. Tips include doing small workouts during the day, making sure you walk to meetings or stand at your desk for periods of time.
- Get effective at meetings; both internal and external. Some internal meetings can even be taken out completely. For example a status meeting - instead just send a round robin of updates. For external meetings, make sure it is both professional and personal.
