FWIW: any tool like the Eisenhower matrix requires the user to stop, reflect, replan then implement. The challenge for managers especially those in middle management, is they are busy busy busy with tasks. Frankly some are happy to wear this busyness like a badge of honour. Those who want to work differently need the organisation to really assess workloads, resource more appropriately AND train managers on how to be more effective.
