Time spent is also a powerful indicator of power and priority. I tell CEO's "if you look at something it will improve." The act of spending time with employees, managers, and customers is a profound statement about what is important in your world view. The shortage of time (and the shared perception of the value of time that results) is a major variable in the organizational will to power. This is why project managers struggle; they typically are subordinate to the decision makers--but they carry the "big stick" of the calendar and the inexorable milestone dates.
