Introduction
The most successful people in the world have only the same number of hours available as all of us. So effectiveness and output have little to do with the hours you work and everything to do with how you use those hours. In this increasingly busy and fast moving world it can seem as if everyone wants to squeeze more out of us and many of us are trying to squeeze more out of ourselves. The need to focus on effectiveness has never been greater. Already, many of us find it easy to be lost in activity but without achieving all the results we need. This programme is designed to deliver effective techniques, mindsets and approaches to using time, managing priorities and improving efficiency.
Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the programme, participants will be able to:
Plan more effectively and realistically
Set goals and schedule action plans
Identify their personal "time thieves"
Pinpoint strategies for reducing "time thieves"
Use the resources of others to achieve more in less time
Programme Content
Participants will consider time as a resource and how to prioritise a busy working schedule. As with many management skills, a key element in time management is planning and the programme gives much weight to this as a key skill.
Other elements covered are assertiveness and delegation, vital tools in effective time management.
In preparation for the programme, participants are asked to keep a five-day activity log, which they then analyse during the programme
