A manager’s role is a demanding one and in this fast paced, disruptive business environment, most managers are time-challenged.

Not only do you need to organise you own time but you also need to accommodate the needs of your staff. How you respond to ongoing “distractions” and the choices you make will determine how much you achieve by the end of each day. 

This comprehensive course builds on our half-day ‘Key Elements of Time Management’ course and is full of practical strategies to focus attention and make it easier to put competing tasks into perspective. The course is conducted by a highly experienced trainer who will ensure you receive exceptional value and results from the training.
