Episode 87 | Navigating Time Management and Building a Purposeful Legacy
Leadership is not just about making decisions and guiding teams; it's also about personal growth, managing time effectively, and building a lasting legacy. Joshua K. McMillion's podcast episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for leaders who aspire to excel in time management and leave a mark on the world.
The concept of 'time bends' is introduced as a flexible alternative to the more rigid 'time blocking.' This innovative approach allows leaders to adapt to the unpredictable nature of life without compromising their productivity. Time bends encourage leaders to establish macro-level routines that balance professional responsibilities and personal aspirations. This alignment of daily actions with long-term goals is strategic and critical for legacy building.
Joshua K. McMillion stresses the importance of prioritizing the process over the goals, a mindset that focuses on consistent actions rather than fixating on the end results. This process-oriented approach ensures that leaders continually move towards their vision, even if goals must be adjusted along the way.
The TIME acronym serves as a guide for leaders to manage their minutes effectively. Each letter represents a step in the process: 'T' for time bends, 'I' for identity, 'M' for micro plan, and 'E' for evaluation. Together, they provide a framework for leaders to craft a routine that reflects their values and vision.
Reflection is presented as a crucial tool for time management. Spending a mere fifteen minutes each week to assess and recalibrate strategies can significantly enhance a leader's ability to manage their time. It's an opportunity to review what's working and what isn't and to make the necessary adjustments. This practice ensures that leaders remain on course and that their time investment aligns with their desired legacy.
Accountability partners play a transformative role in a leader's journey. They offer an external perspective and hold leaders responsible for their time management choices. Joshua encourages listeners to find an accountability partner and engage in weekly self-audits to stay aligned with their leadership vision.
The episode concludes with a call to action for leaders to join the Purposeful Accountable Leaders Facebook group. This community serves as a platform for leaders to share insights, support each other, and grow together.
Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. By adopting the strategies discussed in this podcast episode, leaders can master their time, influence meaningfully, and shape a legacy that stands the test of time. Joshua K. McMillion's insights provide the tools needed for leaders to navigate the challenges of time management with purpose and accountability.

To achieve the extraordinary, you must frame the challenges relative to your capacity. Too small of a vision leads to expected results; too bold, it becomes unrealistic, and you fail to develop the required resources. I've created a system called VISION to help you break through the mental fog and start building traction for your personal and professional life.

Purposeful Accountable Leaders (PALs) understand where they are on their leadership journey and what is required to continue growing. How? Transformational leaders have Leadership Intelligence (LI). I defined LI as aligning emotional intelligence with the organization's needs and the operating environment. LI, at its core, means the less influence you have in your organization, the more you must do personally to succeed.
