Management Time: Whos Got the Monkey? Editor’s note: This article was originally published in the November–December 1974 issue of HBR and has been one of the publication’s two best-selling reprints ever. For its reissue as a Classic, HBR asked Stephen R. Covey to provide a commentary (see the sidebar “Making Time for Gorillas”).
Self-imposed time—used to do those things that the manager originates or agrees to do. A certain portion of this kind of time, however, will be taken by subordinates and is called subordinate-imposed time.

WorkWork WorkWorkWorkWorkFields, Moore break out as Bears snap 14-game losing streak  QB breakdown: Howell\'s growth remains pivotal to the franchise\'s future. Howell showed, once more, that he\'s a resilient and tough quarterback. After a rough first half -- 9-for-13, 71 yards and an interception -- he threw for 298 yards in the second half. He moved well in the pocket, was patient with underneath throws, and though the Commanders lost, he continued to show he can be developed. Speeding up his progressions and learning to protect himself from hits should be points of emphasis going forward.

They told me about siblings who had died of the disease. To protect their children, they said, they were willing to take risks.
