In this episode of The Ron Edmondson Leadership Podcast Ron and Chandler Vannoy share some ways to create more time margin.
Ask anyone how they are doing and most likely they are going to answer “busy”. And yet there’s so much to do. How can we possibly create more margin in our day?
In this episode, some ways to create more time margin.
Show notes:
We love hearing from leaders who enjoy these podcasts. Yes, we know they are simple. It is intended to be a quick listen to a conversation between father and son – (and in this one – father and friend) who are both struggling to figure out leadership in our individual contexts.
Ron is a unique leader in that h has experience in the marketplace, government, nonprofits and the church. Even today as a consultant, Ron continues to be a practitioner of leadership. He’s not just talking about leadership, he’s in the trenches with you serving as a full-time pastor.
As always, I hope this episode helps you be a better pastor and leader.

Since we're talking about leaders, I'll add a couple more around a single principle:
How you lead affects your time.
1. Leading poorly can take more time than leading well. The example that jumps to mind is micro-managing. If you are doing your subordinates' jobs because you are micromanaging, you are spending time that you should spend doing something else.
2. The second follows: if you are micromanaging, you are spending your subordinates' time poorly. Likewise, if you are delegating too much to a subordinate, you impinge on their ability to manage their time well. This can be summed up: Give your subordinates the ability to plan their time well by tasking them appropriately.
Thank you!
