Managing Time and Personal Effectiveness
The concept of time management has been in existence for a long time. Unfortunately the term "Time Management" creates a false impression of what a person is able to do. Time can't be managed, time is uncontrollable, but we can manage ourselves, others and how time is used.
This course focuses on the skills needed to plan, delegate, organise, and prioritise work. It is suitable for managers, supervisors, supported housing workers, in fact all staff who are responsible for organising their or others work.
