ABSTRACT
Time Banking has three key objectives: reduce repetitious, time-consuming tasks; solve and eliminate recurring problems; and free the time for more productive, creative responsibilities. The truth about Time Banking is the same as for saving money. Time Banking allows to accomplish more in fewer hours. It also lets to choose the priorities rather than being forced to delay other important tasks for lack of time. That’s very important because a manager is always short of time. Developing the Time Banking technique is probably essential to receiving the opportunity to be a manager, and is absolutely essential to performing well when one becomes a manager. Successful Time Banking also enables to carry out another important step in reaching the management level: taking on extra responsibility. Most jobs start off inside a box, with relatively well defined responsibilities and tasks. The management-savvy engineer quickly begins expanding that box by mastering the regular job, and building up a Time Banking account.
