Time Management for Managers

Making life more productive for you and your people

Time management is not easy for anyone - but for managers it is particularly difficult because you have to consider other people's time as well as your own. And you probably have more pressures, more interruptions and generally more 'balls to juggle with' or 'plates to spin', to use familiar analogies! Add to that such challenges as chairing meetings and successful delegation and you have a special training need requiring a special course. By means of discussions, questionnaires, videos, practical exercises, as well as trainer input, you will learn techniques for long-term and short-term personal planning which will help you to work effectively under pressure and get results.

  • The TACK Time ManagementProgramme - the principles, practices and techniques to apply.
