Guidelines for time logging
Record a typical week.
Complete the log at intervals of no
more than an hour.
When an interruption starts, jot down
the time.
If you spend a period on lots of little
routine tasks of a similar nature, lump
them together as one.
Can help to record planned time as
well as actual time on a task.
Note any changes in plans or priorities.

Benefits of Coaching as a preferred leadership style
Partnering and collaboration are more gratifying than directing and controlling
Shared responsibility means less that the leader has to shoulder alone
Coaching evokes much more of people’s creativity and talent for their benefit and the benefit
of the organization
People are less dependent on the leader for direction which frees the leader up to expand
external networks, study market trends, pursue new alliances and the like
The leader’s sphere of "influence" can be much broader when the leader doesn’t have to
"micromanage" others
The leader has more time to develop new areas of expertise which can add value to the
organization and further his or her own career
Breakthrough performance replaces incremental improvements, leading to new or sustained
competitive advantage
