Dealing with Time-Wasting Situations

Course Overview

This course is provided by Teaching4Business. Having completed this course the learner will use their time more effectively by avoiding, or dealing with, time wasting situations.

Unfortunately, both managers and staff waste a great deal of time at work. This time is not wasted willfully, but simply because those concerned do not recognise the time wasting traps into which they are walking and, once int he trap, do not know how to escape.

Having achieved the learning outcomes of this course you will become both more efficient and effective, thanks to more productive use of your work time.

Better time management by key workers means better productivity and, for the company, an impact on bottom line profits.

This course, therefore, is particularly aimed at managers and concentrates on typical management scenarios. It would, however, be useful for any member of staff, particularly those on a supervisory position or those being groomed for a future management position.

The course is divided into sections covering the following areas:

• avoiding procrastination
• avoiding crisis management
• effective delegation
• assertiveness
• recognising and dealing with problem people
• dealing with interrupters
• avoiding time-wasting meetings
• effective project management
• dealing with confused responsibility and authority
