Time Management Programme for Supervisors

Time management is the art of organising activities into the correct order of importance.

1. Get the most valuable work done first
2. Be ready to respond to changing environments
3. How to stop people wasting your time
4. Eliminate your own bad habits
5. Stop being too easily distracted
6. Eliminate negative talk
7. Give the team a definite “track to run on”
8. Learn the truth about “multitasking”

You must prioritise work because you cannot do everything at once.
You should always be asking: What is the most VALUABLE use of our time right now?

The time management grid suggests four types of activity:

• Q1 Crisis zone
• Q2 Productive zone – this is our target zone
• Q3 Busy zone – this is our danger zone
• Q4 Fruitless zone

Distinguish between “Busy work” and “Productive work”.

The supervisory manager’s time management goal

To maximise time spent planning, prioritising, preparing and avoiding preventable errors.

Time Wasters SOS

Supervisors should be aware of the three major causes of time wasting.

1. SELF: Your own bad habits
2. OTHERS: People who waste time
3. SYSTEMS: Inefficient work systems

How to improve your email management

We will look at how you can manage your messages - Emails can both help and hinder your progress.

Supervisors should delegate the right task to the right person

1. How to delegate
2. 8 Part SMART
3. Why some supervisors are afraid to delegate

Prioritisation for Supervisors

Prioritisation is the skill of putting tasks into the most efficient order.
How to use our Prioritisation App – WhatsNext?

How supervisors can always make the right decision

Decision making is the ultimate skill, since if you always make the right decision, everything will go well. There are four decision types:

1. Which one / what kind?
2. Yes / no
3. Should we / or shouldn’t we?
4. Problem / cause / solution mapping

Supervisors should manage interruptions by means of the 80/20 principle

80% or more of the value is contained in 20% or less of the content.
Your mission is to extract the minority of the content, which contains the majority of the value.

The Course Training Method

The training method follows this general pattern - the training is very interactive and interesting:

1. The trainer gives a clear explanation of the point in question with specific examples.
2. Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
3. The delegates practice by doing an exercise with the trainer.
4. All points are supported with full written notes to take away.
5. Delegates are asked to write down an associated action, for each point made.
   (At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).

Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!

After the course, how can you keep the training-momentum going?

We understand that it is important to keep the momentum of the training going, in the weeks after the course. The ideas and methods that you learnt during the course need to be implemented, not just for the two weeks after the course, but for all time!

In order to make that happen, we will give you continued, on-going support after the training course has finished.

• PDF download of the training handbook
• Newsletters containing training blogs and articles, which will provide you with ongoing training and good ideas, whenever you need them.
• Fun questionnaires that are designed to tease out your strengths and weaknesses and then give you ideas as to how you might improve your performance.
• Decision matrices that will allow you to make decisions and prioritise tasks into the correct order.
• Summary diagrams and mind maps from the course.
• Conflict scripts that give you examples of how the conflict method can be used, in real life situations.
