Takes IUDs Off Market HIM V'i CHICAGO (AP) Making Time Work Is Sign of Good Manager One ol the most common com- plaints of workers about the boss is that he puts things off until the last minute. Just ask any employee whos been given that "just one more thing to do minutes before quitting time. The ability to make time work for you is the mark of a good manager. Are you able to look at a particular task and allocate the proper amount of time and energy to it? This way, the days jobs are put into a sequence that maximizes every minute spent on each one. There are other related characteristics of a good boss. Besides allocating time for each task, a good boss sets priorities. This assures that the most important tasks are not shortchanged. One of my favorite ways to set priorities is simply to do the most Instead of getting bogged down, farm out some of your tasks. If your subordinates are not capable of doing most of your work as a group, then you've chosen the wrong people to work for you important and most difficult jobs first. There is always the possibility of encountering the unexpected, and if you get bogged down at the beginning of the day in an unimportant job, you'll be using valuable time on the wrong tasks Sit down at the end of your day and plan the next day's priorities List what you'll need to do and then organize the tasks by their importance. Of course, things like meetings and appointments are locked in. but as you become more experienced at this kind of scheduling and more familiar with your own abilities and tendencies, you'll be able to schedule meetings for times when youre at your best For example, an owner of a medi- Learn which of your employees is the strongest in each area and delegate according to those strengths. This delegating process also gives you the chance to see just how good your employees are by providing them with new challenges. When you learn to delegate properly, you then complete the circle on the effective use of time. You have the ability to schedule your day, rationing out each time block according to priority and delegating tasks according to your needs and your employees' abilities. You are also getting in closer touch with your own strengths and weaknesses and learning more about the people who work with you. But there is one other point you need to consider architectural firm um-sized knows that she is sharpest at about 10:30 a.m., after she has had a chance to check in at the office and tackle any leftover business This same woman knows she can delegate responsibilities among her staff, and she does this effectively. This allows her to go to client presentations knowing that attention has been paid to things at the office By doing this, the boss is also back to the first attribute I mentioned, which is using time wisely. Learn to be ready for the unexpected. Something as seemingly insignificant as the weather can mess up your plans.

The IUDs, he added, "join the growing list of beneficial prescription drugs voluntarily withdrawn from the U.S. market because of unfounded litigation. Most of the lawsuits contended the devices caused infertility or bacterial infections, Hullin said, adding 470 lawsuits had been resolved and 305 were pending. "Searle made this decision because of mounting unjustified litigation in the U.S. that has made future product liability insurance virtually unobtainable, he said.

The vice president of finance said it was bad luck that the report wasn't done for the meeting. However, ordering the report two days earlier could have eliminated the possibility of the problem. A plane can be missed, a tire can go flat, an associate can get sick, you could even lose your voice. You can usually overcome the unexpected by accepting that it can happen and planning with a margin of error. As you block out the time for a project, allow a little leeway just in case something goes wrong. If nothing happens, you've got extra time to devote to something else. c - G O.
