This chapter focuses heavily on scheduling and time management. According to the readings this individual has the organizational skills to lead a team of people. I guess I can't disagree with the statement. I've been in terrible group situations before that were resurrected by one individual who could keep everyone on track and delegate tasks in a timely manner. unfortunately I'm really finding this chapter to be reiterating the same points. Of course the other characteristics I'v discussed in previous blogs had a great relation to my daily life, and in some cases taught me a lesson. Unfortunately this chapter just recounts the fact that it's important for one to write down tasks, keep and agenda and be mindful of their time management. It's incredibly tough to draw some sort of deep understanding from a lesson that at this point in my life seems so trivial. From a young age I've been taught to write down thoughts and even earlier this year several of our professors discussed the value of a journal or personal notebook to record life experiences.
Rather then speaking about a character trait that may or may not be relatable and valuable, this chapter seems to focus on clutter in the business world and keeping a clean working area. The author goes on to discuss the organizations of paper work. I can't disagree with the value in that. In fact the thing that makes this chapter so weak is the lack of room for debate. It's simple knowledge and trivial information that I'm sure everyone has known since childhood. There;s little room for discussion, learning or debate from this section.
