7 Management Tips
Straight from Harvard
Insightful. Actionable. Innovative.
Top-tier advice from Harvard Business Review
Blaze
Through Your
To-Do List
Self-discipline is challenging.
Employ these three tips to
make your work more
efficient every day:
Get three things done
before noon. Statistics show
that the team ahead at
halftime is more likely to
win the game. Enjoy your
lunch knowing that you
accomplished at least three
tasks in the morning.
Sequence for speed. Break
projects into parts. Take on
the longer pieces at the
beginning and make sure each
subsequent part is shorter. If
you leave the longest parts for
last, you are more likely to
run out of steam before the
end of the day.
Tackle similar tasks
at the same time.
The mind thrives on
repetition. You can
build momentum by
taking on similar
projects at the same
time.
Act Like You
Already Have
What You Want
Your mind can be your best
asset. However, doubts, fears,
and anxieties can impede your
ability to deliver. Be cognizant of
your mindset.
Whether you’re concerned that you don’t
have the respect of your peers or that a
customer isn’t calling you back because
she’s gone to a competitor, overthinking
the issue only serves to compound the
worry. Instead, pretend you have what
you want. Act as if your peers respect
you or as if the customer is loyal. These
may be fantasies, but what you’re
worrying about may be as well. It’s
better to stop the worry and act
confidently; chances are better that
you’ll get what you want.
Know What
Matters - Quality
Over Quantity
Mulitasking can cause trouble when it comes
to output. Overextending yourself should be a
real concern. However, single-tasking can
create issues in terms of productivity. You
need to multitask to keep up in today's
fast-paced world.
Instead, identify the tasks that will
create the most value and focus on
those. By prioritizing value over volume
and sharpening your focus on tasks that
truly matter, you’ll increase the quality
of your work and, ultimately, the value
you provide. What to do with all those
tasks that didn’t make the high-value
list? Put them on a “do later” list. If they
continually fail to make it to the
high-value list, ask yourself: why do
them at all?
Schedule Regular
Check-Ins...With
Yourself
When a company is breaking new ground,
the number concern should always be how to
stay on track and always achieve at the
highest possible level. Make time regularly to
seriously self-evaluate.
Every week, take a quiet hour to
reflect on recent critical events
—conflicts, failures, opportunities
you exploited, observations of
others’ behavior, feedback from
others. Consider how you
responded, what went well, what
didn’t, and what might be more
effective in the future.Never cancel
this meeting—it’s crucial.
Grow Beyond
Excuses And
Push Yourself
Do not make the mistake of clinging to poor
behaviors because you assume they are
inherent to your character or personality.
"That's just the way I am!" has no place in a
thriving workplace.
Instead of insisting that you
can’t change, think about how
these behaviors may be impeding
the success of those around you.
Don’t think of these behaviors as
character traits, but as
possibilities for improvement.
You’ll be surprised how easily
you can change when it helps
you succeed.
Imagine Yourself
Starting From
The Beginning
When evaluating your performance, think
about what you would do if you were to start
in your role anew. Identify what you would
do different if you could start over.
Taking this step back
can help you evaluate
the strategies and
approaches you are
currently using, see
things that are too
difficult to see when
you are entrenched, and
reenergize yourself for
the challenges ahead.
Ditch Either/Or
In Favor Of
Both/And
Leaders need to be a lot of different and
potentially contradictory things. On the one
hand, they should be determined, analytical,
and organized. On the other hand,
characteristics like empathetic, charismatic,
and communicative also serve a purpose.
Rather than categorizing yourself as
a certain type of leader, explore the
nuances that a complex,
fast-moving business environment
requires. Leaders need to
confidently deliver tough messages
with analytics as evidence, but they
also need to be sensitive to how
people receive those messages. Most
leadership traits are not an either/or
choice, but rather complementary
sides of effective management.

7 Management Tips Straight From Harvard

  • 1. 7 Management Tips Straight from Harvard Insightful. Actionable. Innovative. Top-tier advice from Harvard Business Review
  • 2. Blaze Through Your To-Do List Self-discipline is challenging. Employ these three tips to make your work more efficient every day:
  • 3. Get three things done before noon. Statistics show that the team ahead at halftime is more likely to win the game. Enjoy your lunch knowing that you accomplished at least three tasks in the morning.
  • 4. Sequence for speed. Break projects into parts. Take on the longer pieces at the beginning and make sure each subsequent part is shorter. If you leave the longest parts for last, you are more likely to run out of steam before the end of the day.
