Executive Time Management

Visconti's solution

The executive sought the support of a VISCONTI coach to improve their priority management. Before the first workshop, the coach provided various tools for self-assessment.

Together, the coach and the coachee analyzed the executive’s schedule and the results of the questionnaire. This analysis revealed excessive involvement in operational and production tasks, insufficient time allocated to strategic leadership matters, and an infrequent meeting schedule with the executive committee.

Results

This coaching process made the executive realize that they had been reacting to their schedule rather than actively managing it. They also recognized that they were not dedicating enough time to important but non-urgent matters, such as strategy and mid-term initiatives.

As a result, the executive’s weekly, monthly, and annual schedule was restructured as follows:

Delegation of low-value tasks to team members
Securing two half-days per week for strategic thinking and reflection
Complete review of the structure and frequency of Executive Committee meetings
Ongoing alignment check to ensure the schedule consistently reflects the execution of the company’s strategy

"Working with my VISCONTI coach has profoundly changed my perspective. Thanks to them, I’ve regained control of my schedule and my life. I no longer feel overwhelmed—I now set aside time to focus on strategy and have reorganized my leadership team to better align with my goals. Most importantly, this experience has given me the invaluable opportunity to achieve a better work-life balance, allowing me to fully appreciate the important moments in my personal life."
