MM 10 Eisenhower principle

The Eisenhower Principle, also known as the Eisenhower Method or Eisenhower Matrix, is a graphical tool that a manager can draw or even just imagine if they want to quickly know which tasks should be completed and when, and which problems should be addressed. It divides all current tasks into four areas and also specifies, in abstract terms, who should take care of them.

This method is named after former US President and Allied General Dwight D. Eisenhower. He allegedly divided his tasks into four groups: "Do it now!" "Do it later!" "Delegate!" and "Forget it!" Whether this assumption is based on an actual invention by him or simply on his strong political leadership during the Cold War is uncertain, however, as there is no actual evidence of his intellectual property.
