1. What Top Arkadin
Managers Do in the
Morning to Get Ahead

2. WHAT 3 ARKADIN MANAGERS
DO IN THE MORNING TO GET AHEAD

3. FIRST, MANAGER A.

4. MANAGER A’s #1:
SEPARATE THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL.

5. “It’s important to me to see where there
could be a conflict between professional and
personal appointments in my calendar.”

6. Scheduling conflicts are the bane of
business, so complex they’re
studied by academics.

7. Software calendaring
can make them clear early in the day…
and clear means solvable.

8. MANAGER A’s #2:
LIMIT YOUR LOAD TO ONE DEVICE...

9. “Carrying one device is easier in terms of
mobility. Else, we never know which one is
ringing or have a contact on one device that
isn’t on the other.”

10. 74%of organisations already
adopting it.
The BYOD revolution means a profusion of hardware choices, with

11. But the smartest flexible workers
concentrate on a single device,
even in a world with
more mobile devices
than people

12. MANAGER A’s #3:
...BUT KEEP THAT DEVICE CLOSE.

13. “I can access my emails and phone
a colleague in case of an emergency or
if I’m off on holidays.”

14. Whatever device you focus
on, maintain
mobile connectivity
at all costs.

15. With a quarter of
Americans working
in their holidays,
being connected means
being efficient.

Now let’s check out

17. MANAGER B’s #1:
SWEAT YOUR COMMUTING TIME.

18. “I use my commuting time to be more
efficient. On the way in: checking emails,
deleting spam.”

19. 72%in a decade.
Time is a business asset. But the number of workers commuting
more than two hours a day has risen by

20. So make better use of that asset,
by using your commute time to
remote work.
Or don’t commute at
all and telework.

21. MANAGER B’s #2:
ANTICIPATE THE NEXT 24.

22. “On the way back: checking my
calendar for the next day.”

23. Just as Manager B uses his morning
commute to plan the day, he uses
the evening ride back to prepare for
early meetings and
tomorrow’s workload.
at all costs.

24. Planning ahead lets you
act, not
just react.

25. MANAGER C’s #1:
TRAVEL LIGHT AS A CLOUD.

26. “I use cloud-based solutions as much
as possible. Allows me to carry very
little when working remotely.”

27. Your phone’s in your pocket, your
laptop’s in your bag, but the cloud is
everywhere.

28. exceeds 71%.
Corporate usage of clouds both public and private now

29. accessible, accurate,
and secure.
Keeping a single up-to-date set of your data in the cloud keeps it
