24 hours a day – the same amount of time for everyone, no matter your age, race or gender. How is it that some can achieve so much more within their life time (think of Bill Gates, Angela Merkel), while others seem to fall behind? One critical aspect would be what they do with their time. Those who are intentional with their time and energy are often those with a desire for growth and strive to be effective in all that they do. They carefully allocate their limited resources of time and energy to achieve the maximum impact with the same (or even less) effort.
In fact, I would say that these people understand what personal leadership is. They take responsibility for all aspects of their lives, own it and lead it towards what they have envisioned it to be.
But, what exactly is leadership? Some may mistake the title, hierarchy (having power over others) or a set of traits (assertiveness, charismatic etc) as what constitutes “leadership”. In actual fact, leadership can be as simple as taking initiative in a situation, or influencing others to maximise their efforts and attain a goal together. If you desire to lead your own time and your people well, here are four articles to help understand how to manage your priorities (time management and productivity); how to plan a workflow suitable for the summer; why leaders need confidence, courage, connectedness and courage to become great and finally, negative examples of motivating your team (and to learn how to do it).

As busy professionals, our schedules are often filled to the brim with meetings and tasks to complete. We can get so caught up with work that we might even forget our all-important lunch and power through dinner as well. Alas, we can only do so much given the 24 hours we have in a day. While time management is vital, being productive is another matter in its entirety.Enter time batching.
