The Head of the Civil Service, Nana Agyekum Dwamena has stated that Ghana must as a matter of priority take a critical look at time management especially at public events again.
Speaking at a closing ceremony of a training session on effective time and stress management by the Parliamentary Training Institute (PTI), he expressed concerns about how precious time which could have been used for productive purposes in order to enhance national development is always wasted in vain due to the late start of functions.
Mr Agyekum Dwamena challenged heads of departments to act as change agents by starting small in their little corners as means to engender progress.
To emphasise the value other countries place on the essence of effective time management, the Civil Service boss recounted with shock how a Managing Director of a train service company in Japan had to apologise to the whole nation on a national television just because the train had taken off just two seconds earlier than it supposed to depart even though no passenger missed the train.
The Civil Service Head congratulated the PTI for organizing the training which he noted will go a long way to bring about change in the public sector.
