Parkinson's Law We'll help you to see why you are running. Why is your life a rat-race? Take a close look at you business and wonder why managers make work for each other. | | | | Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion | | | This statement was made by Cyril Northcote Parkinson, the famous British historian and author, and this proverb became Parkinson's Law. Parkinson was qualified to make such a statement, having worked in the British Civil Service, seeing first hand how bureaucracy ticks. Bureaucracy itself is a by-product of our culture, thanks to the limiting belief that working harder is somehow better than working smarter. Parkinson’s Law means that if you give yourself a week to complete a four hour task. Then (psychologically speaking) the task will increase in complexity and become more daunting so as to fill that week. It may not even fill the extra time with more work, but just stress and tension about having to get it done. By assigning the right amount of time to a task, we gain back more time and the task will reduce in complexity to its natural state. | | | We help your business grow ! | | Van Holland Group inc. is a consultant and coaching company with a blue ocean strategy expertise on the internet, business development, legal issues and European markets.
