This practical programme facilitates participants to learn and apply effective tools and techniques to identify and align with their bosses’ preferences, to prioritise their tasks, and to manage their time.
Staff multi-task nowadays and report to multiple or changing bosses / superiors. Thus when staff are not able to determine what each different individual boss wants, problems arise due to misalignment of understanding and expectations – and thus misunderstandings occur. By learning how to understand their bosses’ preferences and how to manage their expectations, staff will be able to manage their tasks as well as time better so as to achieve more in less time.
At the end of the training session, participants will be able
to achieve the following outcomes:
- Understand boss’s expectations, preferences, styles ,and needs at departmental level
