Core Management Skills
Management is about mastering a complex set of skills and achieving your goals through your people. Whether you are new to management, thinking of applying for a management position, or want to develop yourself further as a manager, it’s important to stand back and reflect on your own management skills and competencies.

Manage Your Use of Time
There is NO such thing as ‘Time Management’ – despite the myriad of materials bearing this title! Time is a finite resource which cannot be ‘managed’ by anyone – it is the same for all of us – 60 seconds in one minute; 60 minutes in one hour and 24 hours in one day. This will never change. What can change however, is how you manage your USE of your time – and this is fundamental.
Key topics covered in 1 day are:
- Getting results oriented rather than activity oriented
- Map your use of time to honestly understand where it is spent
- Identify the time you ‘lose’ in the day and the financial cost of this to your organisation
- The top six time thieves and how to manage them.
