The facilitator will demonstrate how to have a courageous conversation and will then provide each participant with the opportunity to practice having a real and challenging conversation.
Module 6 – Time Management is not the Issue …. It’s Lack of Focus on Priorities!
This final module addresses the critical need for supervisors to stay focused on the important critical few priorities and not get derailed by the constant demands of the urgent day-to-day tasks. Research has shown that organizational issues that typically get categorized as ‘Time Management’ issues can be more accurately categorized as lack of focus on the critical few key priorities. This module will show how identifying and staying focus on the critical few important business priorities resolves the vast majority of traditional time management issues. Finally, the skill of effective Decision Making will be explored as the means of delivering on the key business priorities.
