When creating a philosophy of time management on any given level – the fifth “P” of leadership must be in mind. In other words, the technical system must provide support that will allow the personnel of the organization to do their prospective assigned duties successfully. Also, when considering one’s philosophy, it should be noted that when one speaks of philosophy it is not talking about his/her belief system. This is a mistaken myth that does not serve one as a leader very well. What philosophy is designed to do is have an individual seek knowledge of the truth in that given situation.

They are in fact making mistakes inside of the process, but cannot correct that which they have place little to no value on – in this case the process itself. Therefore, they are attempting to get a result without considering the principle of process. Often times, their thought patterns are on the end-result without considering how to get there.

However, indecisiveness is still a decision in itself. Making a non-decision or a choice to stay where one is at is never a good plan or good leadership approach to problem solving. Conversely, if a leader were to change their direction and were to make sound timely decisions based on planning, preparation, prioritizing and remaining with the process then their actions most definitively end in a successful venture. Leadership after all is a process and there is no shortcut to being successful as a leader. The more one does under controlling themselves in the use of time – the more successful they will become. Hence, mastering the four P’s of leadership (and don’t forget the invisible P) one can in fact influence how successful they will become for now and in
