In the past if you were labeled a clock-watcher that typically came with a negative connotation and would lead to a career limiting activity. You would have been the one that was just waiting for it to be 5-O’clock somewhere and you were just counting the minutes for the day and week to be over. In today’s business that activity of watching the clock may not be that bad, that is if you are doing it for the right reasons.
Business today has become much more time sensitive. No longer is a customer satisfied with a delivery date that is based on fixed lead times, they want it much more accurate as they are dependent . . .
