As a manager, do you feel like your time is being pulled in different directions, and you end up jumping from activity to activity without really focussing on the task at hand? The good news is there are strategies you can put in place to adapt your existing time management skills to suit your role as a busy manager.
This course will help you take back control of your time and lead your team by example, by identifying what’s stealing your time and how to focus on your priorities and on what really matters.
