Purpose of this Handbook

The Handbooks Soft Skills developed by Centre for Good
Governance are intended primarily for personnel in public
administration. They offer an overview of some of the principal
skills that are essential for effective performance.

They draw heavily upon existing literature and current practices
in public and private organizations around the world and
include numerous references and links to useful web
resources.

They are not comprehensive ‘guides’ or ‘how to’ booklets.
Rather, they incorporate the perspectives of experts in the
specific domains whose knowledge, insights, advice and
experiences prove handy in honing skills essential for
strengthening the capacity for effectiveness of public service
at all levels of government.

This handbook, Time Management Skills, focuses on how
the personnel in the public administration can develop
approaches and strategies that will enable them to effectively
deal with time management problems in a variety of contexts.
