Parkinson’s Law is a well-known principle in time management and productivity that suggests that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. By being cognizant of this principle, managers can improve the productivity and efficiency of their employees. To manage Parkinson’s Law, managers need to set realistic deadlines, provide clear instructions, provide resources and support, monitor progress, provide feedback, prioritize tasks, and avoid overloading employees. By following these strategies, managers can help employees to make the most of their time and achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively.
