The most valuable resource available to managers is time. It is a common complaint that “there are not enough hours in the day” yet a typical manager devotes the majority of available time to low priority work. The potential to achieve more in your job and career is dependent partly upon how well time is managed.

This is a participative programme in which delegates will be given a series of individual exercises and guidance in improving their use of time. Methods for identifying and delegating time-wasting activities will be identified together with key skills for influencing people and improving their performance.
