The author maintains that the chief source of wasted time in industry is not idleness but misdirected effort ; due, for example, to over-organization, lack of a sense of proportion, refusal to delegate responsibility, or failure to plan work and apportion time in advance. He supports this contention with numerous first- hand examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
