...Communication, Organization, and Time Management Vicky Davis Columbia Southern University As a healthcare professional who has chosen to return to college, communication,organization and time management are of utmost importance. Working the night shift with a scant number of laboratory technologists is a hurdle in itself. With only two techs, keeping up with emergency room, intensive care, and timed lab test orders can be extremely tricky. There are also daily maintenance and quality control that must be completed at certain times during the night. As technologists, we must manage and organize ourselves carefully and communicate with each other in order to stay within the turnaround time set by our hospital’s policy. I work with one other technologist and a phlebotomist. Communication between the three of us is essential to a successful night. Orders come into the lab throughout the night and knowing each other’s location within the facility saves time when drawing blood from patients in different departments. This speeds up the process of getting samples to the lab for testing instead of waiting until someone comes back to see order labels lying on the counter. Not only do I have to communicate with my coworkers in the laboratory, I also have a team of nurses, radiology technicians, respiratory therapists and doctors with whom I must maintain constant contact. Nurses notify us when they have stat lab orders that need to be drawn. Radiology and respiratory are at times held up...

...This article is written by Frankki Bevins and Aaron De Smet on January 2013 about Making Time Management the Organization Priority in the McKinsey Quarterly. Time-scarcity problem have become serious over the recent years. According to the research and experience of the authors, they suggest that leaders who are serious about solving this problem must stop thinking about time management as an individual problem and start addressing it institutionally. Time management have become a concern to the organization because they have no control over the personal productivity issue. This problem can be solved systematically by creating time budgets and formal processes and the senior teams can use them to allocate their time wisely. When the leaders brings up organizational matters, they should have more thoughts on the issues such as roles, span of control and decision rights. To ensure that individual leaders manage their time effectively, companies can provide them with tools and incentives to make it successful. The authors talks about time as the ‘infinite’ resource. The survey results are debatable as a natural result of the fact that very little organizations treat their executive time as the finite and measurable resource. Leadership times is always mistreated as though it were limitless or infinite, with all good opportunities receiving high priority ignoring the leadership capacity to drive them forward. The survey data shows the existence of dissatisfied executives...

...Running head: The Importance of Management 1 The Importance of Management Chelsea Winslow MGT330: Management of Organizations Paul Verlasky THE IMPORTANCE OF MANAGEMENT 2 Introduction Management is crucial in developing the operations of organizations. The structure of an organization is the foundation that an organization positions itself on and determines the success of the organization. Without management, organizations would lack defined purpose and goals. Management in organizations has led to studies of various theories of management. There are numerous theories and ideas that have shaped management principles within organizations. Despite the ever changing environment of organizations, there are five core functions that have remained intact. These functions are: leading, planning, staffing, organizing and controlling. Every organization and its needs are unique and specific to that organization. Every organization will have a different approach and way of operating, but these five core functions are the constant in the implementation of each organization’s goals. These core functions can be observed in one of the retail industry leaders, Macy’s. As a former employee of this organization, I observed these five functions of management in the achievement of their goals. Also, as a former employee of this organization, I believe I can elucidate more on the process of application of these functions in various situations...

MOOKETSI 200301911 Introduction This paper intends to discuss the relationship between strategic planning and strategic management as well to indicate the importance of the latter in the attainment of organizational goals. . In order to lay a proper foundation for the essay, it is important to start by looking at the concept of strategy and linking it to planning and management.
