Supervisor Time Management

Front-line leaders often find themselves with competing priorities. On the one hand leaders have activities related to long-term strategy that deserve careful planning and execution. These are the “should do” activities to make beneficial improvements in the processes they champion. However, on the other hands front-line leaders work with the reality of unexpected, urgent, short-term priorities. These become the “must do” tasks on already crowded calendars.

Participants Will Learn & Apply These Skills:

 

  • Unique (but proven) analysis tools to understand and articulate where time is being spent
  • An evaluation method to categorize activities into Strategic, Proactive, Reactive, and Detractive tasks
  • Continuous Improvement tools to transform Reactive tasks into Proactive activity
  • Methods to work with peers on other shifts & departments to reduce wasted time for everyone
  • Strategies to manage the expectations of leaders
