Time management is the skill to plan and control how management spend the hours during the event to successfully achieve the goals. Poor time management can lead to delay, as well as difficulties with self-control. Abilities involved in time management comprises of preparation for the future, setting goals, arranging duties, and observing where time essentially needed (psychology today, 2015).

In an event schedules and deadlines are a major priority and time to be management in order to have a smooth sailing event (Bowdin et al, 2012). On the athletics day, planned by the Student Representative Council (S.R.C) which was held at Francistown College of Technical Vocational Education (F.C.T.V.E), time management was nonexistent. The event was required to start at early in the morning to accommodate the athletes. Due to the harshness of the sun the week building up to the event.

Delegation of duties was successful but upon implementation, lack of personnel resulted in change of duties. Management relayed on theory X and theory Y which proven to be ineffective on the day, as control of the event became chaotic. Chaos theory would have been a better approach due to the constant change in operations that were not seen.
