Time management is not much about managing time but managing oneself. The usual compliant we hear from every one is “No time”. Time is fixed for every one; 24 hrs a day, 52 weeks an year. It is up to the individual how effectively and efficiently he or she manages and uses the time. Plan your time well, and then you will have ample time to do your activities.
Characteristics of Time
♣ It is a valuable and scarce resource
♣ It cannot be accumulated like money
♣ Once lost is lost for ever
♣ It cannot be stretched
There are 3 P’s of time management which needs to be taken care of:
1. Planning – must
Planning is deciding in advance what to do, when to do and how to do for any activity. For e.g. Consider that you need to submit a sales report to your superior or to your management team. First you need to plan out the outline / content of the report, decide when to do and plan how to go about of doing it.
2. Prioritizing – vital
The next step is prioritizing the activities. Categorize your activities in to Important and Urgent, Important but not Urgent, Urgent but not Important, Not Urgent and Not Important and act accordingly.
3. Procrastination – avoid
Procrastinating is most common among the individuals. There are certain activities which can wait and certain activities which need to be taken care of today itself.
Most of us will delay Important but Not Urgent activities till it becomes Important and Urgent and end up with lack of time. For Eg. Assume the same example of preparing a Sales Report, given a time of ten days. Now it is an Important but Not Urgent activity. You will postpone it till the deadline and will start working on it a day before the deadline and it becomes an Important and Urgent activity. Then you will not be able to put in quality time to that activity and end up with somehow managing to get the report ready. And at last end up with not meeting your superior’s expectations from you.
Don’t postpone your activities to tomorrow. Tomorrow never comes. Do it right now.

I generally shy away from using the word “networking” when it comes to our business. As professional “headhunters”, we are constantly practicing and performing the art of networking in our daily operations.

In the not-too-distant past, ascending the corporate ladder assured management professionals of a bigger office, a stronger compensation package and a more secure future. But today, executives are being told: Don’t get too comfortable in that corner office, and don’t buy that fancy new car or boat you’ve always dreamed of – because your job is just as vulnerable as everyone else’s. Evidence suggests that the higher up the ladder you go, the more precarious your position may become! The attitude toward executives and the roles they play within companies have drastically changed in recent years. I’ve seen executives who have been with the same company for 20 or more years. They’ve worked their way up

In this manner, two or more insurance companies share the burden of a huge payment, while each profiting from insurance premiums in the mean time.The reinsurance field is soaring in these times of big business and huge values placed on people and property. Jobs in the industry are opening up across the board for every kind of position, from underwriting jobs to sales jobs. Reinsurance jobs are a great
