Orientation to Time

The factor of time can be difficult to manage. It is possible that you may not realize what challenges time management will pose until you are in the midst of a project that is time sensitive. Managing this cultural factor comes down to a manager knowing their employees and delegating responsibility appropriately. Having staff that comes from different sides on time management can make any project difficult to finish in a timely manner. If you know you have team members who are not as motivated to get done with a project it may be necessary to assign them pieces of the project that are not time sensitive and/or do not factor into other pieces getting done.

I think the other way to look at this is not how fast or motivated are they to get the project done but are they completing the project on time and to sufficient standards. To say that the US culture is busy and rushing from one thing to another is an understatement. If the project is still getting done on schedule then the time management and work ethic of those working on it may not be of as much concern.
