Time Management for Technical Leaders
Productivity methods that pay back (€299 + VAT)
Why manage your time?
If you've ever lead or managed a team, you'll know there is always more to do. More tasks, more meetings, and more tasks. The problem is... no one has taught you how to manage all of this with your limited time.
If you are a Technical Leader, you are torn between two worlds that require different time management approaches. You have feet in both:
- A Technical-Oriented World - One that requires deep focus and concentration; and
- A People-Oriented World - A world full of meetings, context switching and high levels of interactions with people
How do you manage the tension between this? Find out how by signing up for this course.
