  1. I think I am more of a time manager and probably always have been. I do however wish I could be better at the priority part! I think I am more of a black and white person when it comes to how I approach things. There is a right and wrong way no in between. Which I do think can be a good quality to have when it comes to certain types of jobs or projects that have a definitive deadline and there is no moving it, however I also think my rigid approach can be a huge hinderance to me. Funny thing is I am completely a time manager but in no way would I like to be managed by one. I would rather be managed by someone whom can set my priorities and offers clear measureables for success. All that being said, I think there is room for both management styles you sort of need both to be a successful group! (Jen D)
