ABSTRACT
Unfortunately, many individuals simply do not know how to manage their time wisely. Leaders who know how to manage their time work smarter, not harder, and they strengthen their ability to build trust. Trust is built upon keeping commitments. Leaders who manage their time wisely do the following: keep a task list, prioritize, structure the day, focus on personal and professional goals, learn to say no, understand the difference between being busy and doing busy work, delegate, rest, and exercise. Leaders who build trust with others apply these suggestions as they go about completing their tasks. In addition, they are flexible. They understand that the very nature of the school leader's job means that unexpected events will happen. Even more, leaders who are good time managers recognize the value of self-discipline to make the best use of their time as a way to build and maintain trust.
