Less than half were \u201csomewhat satisfied\u201d and roughly a third were \u201cactively dissatisfied.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps most concerning, they found, nearly half of the global executives they surveyed admitted that they \u201cwere not concentrating sufficiently on guiding the strategic direction of the business.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bevins and De Smet identify <strong>five solutions to today\u2019s time management crisis<\/strong> in the corporate world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of those five is simply budgeting time properly by organizations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies budget for most things but commonly overlook one of the most valued items: The limited time of their executives. \u201c<strong>Establishing a time budget for priority initiatives<\/strong> might sound radical, but it\u2019s the best way to move toward the goal of treating leadership capacity as companies treat financial capital and to stop financing new initiatives when the human capital runs out,\u201d they write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Viewed in McKinsey Quarterly.
