The 5,000-Year-Old Business Strategy: Leveraging Team Time for Maximum Productivity

A Nigerian business consultant, Paschal Mbaka, recently shared a simple yet effective business strategy that he claims has been used for over 5,000 years. Mbaka's "5,000 Year Old Strategy" focuses on leveraging the time of multiple employees to maximize productivity. In a short video, he illustrates this concept on a whiteboard, showing how a CEO can delegate tasks to a personal assistant, social media manager, finance accountant, and development engineer. "You might have 24 hours, but they have 10,000 hours," Mbaka explains, highlighting the potential for exponential growth through effective teamwork. While the historical claim is unverified, the underlying principle of efficient delegation resonates with many business professionals. The video has gained traction online, sparking discussion about effective time management and team leadership. Mbaka's strategy provides a clear, visual approach to a complex issue, making it easily digestible for a broad audience.
