Managing Time

A. Grove, Cmed LtdI use this activity as the opening activity in our “Supervision & Delegation” training with small groups of employees new(ish) to line management or supervisory role. The best learning points are: gather information about commitments of your staff; criteria used to decide who is delegated which task; tasks to do yourself vs delegate to others criteria; the need to get organised to do a good job of delegating; the need to be mindful of your personal/team/departmental objectives; don’t cram calendars and don’t leave things to the last minute.

Managing Time introduces these key concepts and paves the way for covering “performance agreements” and situational leadership. I am very happy with this activity. Challenging and flexible – can be debriefed in various ways depending on the interests/needs of the group. Brilliant! Northgate is my favourite provider of learning activities.

M. Archer, BAE SystemsUsed internally, as part of a 'Time Management' course, the best learning points were: the importance of prioritising work appropriately; the value of delegating appropriately; how effective communication helps management of time. An interesting & challenging activity.

A first class way to test managers’ competencies. Thoroughly absorbing - and easy to run.
R. Hills, Lombard North CentralA very powerful exercise that generates both enjoyment and powerful learning. The greatest benefit to me was having the computer work out the scores.
