Hi,
Nice case study. I don't think Sheila is utilizing delegation effectively. As she is always busy doing administrative work, why shouldn't she appoint a clerk to handle those tasks or delegate them to an available clerk? She should prioritize attending important visitors herself, while her juniors can take care of the rest. The best "quiet time" for minimal interruptions is lunchtime. Sheila should focus on essential tasks herself and delegate other tasks to departmental members she trusts to handle them effectively.

Hi Manna,
You have explained very nicely. I agree with you that we should hire a clerk for all general work like attending phone calls, drafting letters, and other general tasks. The clerk does not need to meet every visitor; they must trust their juniors, as in some cases, bosses do not trust their subordinates.
I also think that the clerk must prepare an action plan, make plans to follow up with their juniors on what tasks have been assigned and what has been completed within a specific time frame.
I look forward to more comments on this.

I think she is not making effective use of delegation. Delegation does not mean just assigning the task and getting it done by the employees; it is more about empowering the employees so that they can become capable of performing their jobs effectively. After delegating a particular task or responsibility, she should identify the key points of the project or dates when she wants feedback about progress. She needs to ensure that the delegated task or project is on track and identify the measurements or outcomes she will use to determine that the project was successfully completed. This will make performance development planning more measurable and less subjective, too. In this way, she can effectively delegate and, at the same time, it will help her to conduct the employees' performance review.

Dear Members,
Whoever has posted the case studies on Time Management has committed a very big crime. These case studies have been prepared by me, Archana Bhatt, for customized training on Time Management for a Corporate House in Ahmedabad. I am sure that the person who has posted these has undergone my training on Time Management. These case studies were discussed in class for the purpose of training.
The case studies are about Shaila, Mr. Prabhakar, and all others. The IDs of the members who have posted are abhi16march and mit123. This is unethical, and I request the gentlemen to stop such practices and publicly apologize for such actions to me. My email address is shubhakari@gmail.com. I hope this message will be taken seriously by the two members.
Thanks,

Hi Manna,
Thanks for your beautiful answer. But one thing I don't agree with you about "quiet time". In my opinion, "quiet time" should be in the morning, during the first hour of your working day. It's the time when a manager needs a quiet moment to sit, plan, and decide what should be done for the whole working day. "Quiet time" and "break time" are definitely different. Especially, a manager should open his door during lunchtime to go out, relax, and connect with subordinates, employees, to talk openly and friendly with them, and to understand more about their lives besides work.
Please let me know if you need further assistance.
