  • Are you wasting time yourself?

    Posted on August 31st, 2009 R. Lynn Lane 7 comments

    I stopped at a local convenient store this morning to get my coffee
    fix before I went to the office.

    I got my coffee and waited at the counter for the clerk. The clerk
    was on the phone and she didn’t sound too happy or look very happy.
    After I paid and walked through the door going back to my truck, I
    saw a guy on his phone and he didn’t look or sound too happy himself.

    The guy outside was a beer delivery guy. He was pacing around in
    circles yelling and ranting into the phone, “that is not my
    job…..I’m not going to price all this beer…..that is her job!”

    Now, that clears it up. She, the clerk was on the phone inside the
    store yelling to her boss…. “that is not my job.” The delivery guy
    was on the phone in the parking lot having a fit yelling at his
    boss… “that is not my job.”

    As a person that studies human behavior I just had to watch for a
    little while. They were still going at it as I drove away.
    That stack of beer may still be in the parking lot this afternoon
    when I go back by.

    My opinion? After all the time they wasted ranting and yelling and
    all the energy they wasted they could have split the work and had
    it all done in no time at all.

    They wanted to blame the other person without taking the
    responsibility to get the job done and go on with the journey.
    That would have been more resourceful and effective.  That is real
    leadership and that is a quality companies are looking for all the
    time.

    How much time do we waste?
    Studies show that we waste about 2 hours a day. That equals 40
    hours a month. 
    40 hours a month means that we get an extra 12 weeks of vacation a
    year. :-)

    Have a great week & Enjoy the Journey!
