Supervisor's Survival Kit: Your First Step into Management, Ninth Edition

CASE: ANALYSIS

A close look at the time inventory submitted shows that Joe is not delegating enough. He could save additional time by having staff meetings instead of individual communication sessions on matters such as productivity schedules. A more serious problem for Joe is that he appears to be guilty of what might be termed fragmented management—going from one activity to another without an overall plan for the day. Joe needs more guidance and support from Mr. Big on how to manage himself.
