Conclusion
Foresight is a valuable asset. It protects you from setbacks. It
helps keep your organizational efforts on track. And it can
enable you to plug “leaks” of time in your scheduling, preserv-
ing those moments for more important and interesting matters.
That will be the subject of Chapter 9.
Manager’s Checklist for Chapter 8
❏ Always give yourself more time for completion than you
think you’ll need.
❏ Set false completion dates for others to help them finish
tasks on time.
❏ Stock or create backups for everything critical.
❏ Communicate clearly and you’ll reduce the possibility for
future errors.
❏ Don’t become overly reliant on technology.
❏ Give special attention to your time management phone
skills.
