Time Span is the central theme around a large body of research conducted over a 50 year period by Elliott Jaques (1917-2003). It is a critical element to most facets of management, so, yes, look for more about Time Span. It’s one of my favorite and important topics for discussion.

You have mentioned this sevral times since I’ve been reading your blog but I do not think I have a clear understanding of what you mean. Give me some details behind the thinking.
