Eliminating Distractions: Time-Saving Tips for Managers

Do you find yourself spending more time on extemporary issues than pre-planned projects?

Does 5 o’clock roll around and the day’s to-do list is still untouched?

Is your team losing sight of long-term goals because of frequent, short-term dilemmas?

In a fast-paced work environment, most managers are familiar with these problems – and although they might feel unavoidable, there are strategic steps you can take to prevent temporary distractions from bottlenecking productivity.

This 60-minute training equips you with strategies to guide your workflow so you can minimize distractions and maximize efficiency.

Program Highlights

Receive tactical answers to your most pressing workflow questions, like:

• How can I be there for my employees without allowing them to monopolize my day with ad hoc issues?
• How can I determine which tasks are crucial and which I can deprioritize?
• How can I incorporate time for problem-solving without going down rabbit holes?

Equip yourself and your team with the tools you need to:

• Achieve more by doing less

• Make quick, smart decisions about prioritizing

You’ll leave this training knowing how to:
