Prioritizing Self-Improvement: Key to Effective Management

In his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," Stephen R Covey stresses the importance of self-improvement, likening it to sharpening a saw.

Managers and project managers often find themselves consumed by daily tasks, spending excessive hours dealing with routine matters and solving urgent problems.

This leaves them with little time for self-improvement activities.

It's crucial for them to set aside dedicated time for this purpose.

Otherwise, their workload will only increase, leading to more urgent issues to tackle.

This creates a negative cycle.

To break free from this cycle, we must pause, assess our situation comprehensively, and deliberately make time for self-improvement activities.
