Time Management and Personal Effectiveness for Managers

Managers are constantly interrupted, over-committed and pulled between urgent tasks and important work. This course helps them regain control of their time, focus on what matters most and protect the space needed for planning and people. Delegates build practical habits and routines suited to the realities of a busy South African workplace.
