    Five powerful benefits you’ll gain when you invest in this course



      • Learn to streamline and simplify for success

        Discover exciting new ideas for streamlining critical functions (such as
        financial, budget, payroll and HR) and simplifying departmental activities
        (meetings, projects, tasks and planning) so that you and your team accomplish
        more in less time.


      • Customize a time-management system that meets your needs

        By analyzing your leadership style, personality and management situation,
        you’ll learn how to develop a unique system specifically designed to address
        your own time-management issues. You will not only boost your own
        productivity, but you’ll also trigger an upswing in the productivity of your team.


      • Use your time more efficiently and effectively

        Gain proven strategies for squeezing the most out of every minute you spend at
        work. We’ll show you how to stop wasting time on unproductive tasks, nonpriorities,
        interruptions and other time-eaters. Instead, you’ll learn to focus on
        “big picture” management tasks that simply can’t be delegated, delayed or
        reprioritized.


      • Increase the productivity of your department or team

        Your ability to manage time effectively has a direct impact on the performance
        of your team. The more productive you become, the more productive they
        become. Once you start to delegate more, micromanage less and spend your
        time where it matters, your people will take the initiative to accomplish more
        on their own, utilize their work time more wisely and rise to the challenge of
        being an integral part of a high-performance team.


      • Carve out more personal time for yourself

        As a manager, you probably come in early, stay late and take work home on the
        weekends — the perfect setup for “burnout.” This course will give you the tools
        to examine your work priorities, redirect your energy and expertise where they
        are needed most and utilize your workplace hours more effectively. As a result,
        you’ll gain more time to pursue personal endeavors, you’ll be free to truly enjoy
        days away from the office and you’ll move toward a healthier, more balanced
        approach to your career.
