Deadlines July 7, 2021 / By Krishna Patel / Leadership Deadlines I don’t remember ever missing a deadline.Taking deadlines seriously is a way to show respect for others’ time as well as my own.Respecting others’ time: they can only start their part once I finish my part. Handing over my work on time gives them enough time to do their work.Respecting my time: what could I have been doing with the time spent working on overdue projects?“One today is worth two tomorrows” –Benjamin Franklin
