The use of the personal time of the Director is described in a diagram divided into quadrants of a Cartesian System, where the social activity is indicated on the abscissa "x", and in the ordinates "y", the personal activity of the director of the organization, the quadrants indicate the activities to which you must devote your time and attention: I. Exercise your position, II. Socialize with your community, II. Observe their environment and the world, and IV. Keep your own training continued. If the Manager dedicates 25% of their time to each of the activities indicated would be ideal, however that is not possible, so it is more important to maintain attention to all activities, to achieve a good balance.
