What will you do differently this week to take responsibility for managing your time, completing your work and planning your learning experiences?
Our research says:
A key characteristic of top performers is a high degree of autonomy in managing their time, completing their work and planning their learning experiences. We asked both the top performers and the typical performers in our survey population how much flexibility and personal responsibility they have to manage their time and schedule. One-third of top performers reported they have “a great deal” of flexibility, a situation experienced by only about 15 percent of the peer set. Twice as many typical performers were likely to report that they had no autonomy at all—that their supervisor monitored their location and hours closely.
When individuals have the autonomy to manage their time, their work and their approach to learning, they are able to do things in a way that is founded on their strengths and on their insights into the best way to get things done.
