Brief Overview of the Mentoring Program

3

The South African Accenture Women’s Network Forum would like to introduce a mentoring program linked to the Born to Succeed Conference.

The Women’s Network hopes to:

• equip young women with the skills necessary to succeed in the world of work, and

• take action against South Africa’s high levels of unemployment among women

The unemployment rate for women has remained approximately 27.1% since 2008, which is above thenational average of approximately 25% (Stats SA, 2012). Therefore, the very success of this nation mayin fact lie with the education and upliftment of its women.

As the wise adage reads;

“If you educate a woman, you educate a nation,” Dr. Kwegyir Aggrey.

How Good is Your Time Management?

Statement to Answer Not at All Rarely Sometimes Often Very Often

1Are the tasks you work on during the day the ones with the highest priority?

2Do you find yourself completing tasks at the last minute, or asking for extensions?

3 Do you set aside time for planning and scheduling?

4Do you know how much time you are spending on the various jobs you do?

5How often do you find yourself dealing with interruptions?

6Do you use goal setting to decide what tasks and activities you should work on?

7Do you leave contingency time in your schedule to deal with "the unexpected"?

8Do you know whether the tasks you are working on are high, medium, or low value?

9When you are given a new assignment, do you analyse it for importance and prioritize it accordingly?

10Are you stressed about deadlines and commitments?

11Do distractions often keep you from working on critical tasks?

12Do you find you have to take work home, in order to get it done?

13Do you prioritize your "To Do" list or Action Program?

14Do you regularly confirm your priorities with your boss?

15Before you take on a task, do you check that the results will be worth the time put in?

Hand-out 1

• Work out the total for each row

• Times the total of each row by 5

Score Comment

46-75You're managing your time very effectively! Still, check the sections on the hand-out to see if there's anything you can tweak to make this even better.

31-45You're good at some things, but there's room for improvement elsewhere. Focus on the serious issues from the hand-out and you'll most likely find that work becomes much less stressful.

15-30

Ouch. The good news is that you've got a great opportunity to improve your effectiveness at work, and your long term success! However, to realize this, you've got to fundamentally improve your time management skills. (Read the hand-out to start.)

Scheduling

36

(Questions 1, 4, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15)

• Most people have a "to-do" list of some sort. The problem with many of these lists is they are just a collection of things that need to get done. There is no rhyme or reason to the list and, because of this, the work they do is just as unstructured.

How do you work on To Do List tasks – top down, bottom up, easiest to hardest?

Activity: Complete the Prioritised To-Do List

PrioritisationIdentifying values

37

(Questions 5, 9, 11, 12)

• Having a plan and knowing how to prioritize it is one thing. The next issue is knowing what to do to minimize the interruptions you face during your day. It is widely recognized that managers get very little uninterrupted time to work on their priority tasks. There are phone calls, information requests, questions from employees, and a whole host of events that crop up unexpectedly. Some do need to be dealt with immediately, but others need to be managed.

Important activities have an outcome that leads to the achievement of your goals, whether these are professional or personal.

Urgent activities demand immediate attention, and are often associated with the achievement of someone else's goals.

• Activity: Complete the Urgent/Important Matrix

Managing Interruptions

Hand-out 2

The Urgent/ Important MatrixUsing time effectively, not just efficiently

(Questions 2, 10, 12)

• "I'll get to it later" has led to the downfall of many a good employees. After too many "laters" the work piles up so high that any task seems insurmountable. Procrastination is as tempting as it is deadly. The best way to beat it is to recognize that you do indeed procrastinate. Then you need to figure out why. Perhaps you are afraid of failing? (And some people are actually afraid of success!)

How to recognise that you are procrastinating?

Procrastination

(Questions 3, 7, 12)

• Much of time management comes down to effective scheduling of your time. When you know what your goals and priorities are, you then need to know how to go about creating a schedule that keeps you on track, and protects you from stress.

Choose big rocks.
