Success Focused Leadership: Getting the Monkey Off Your Back

SESSION INFO

Tuesday, February 1, 2022
2:15 PM - 3:45 PM
Session Type: Workshop

Do you find yourself typically “running out of time” while your subordinates are typically “running out of work?” Do you ask the question, “Why do I have so much work” and if you really step back and think about it, you realize that it’s not really yours? Are you the type of Manager who feels that it’s your job to solve all of your staff problems? Do you find yourself taking on so much of the staff/team/unit responsibilities that you find yourself answering to them more than the reverse? There is a way out! Encouraging staff to take more initiative does not make you appear less strong, more vulnerable or less useful. When you encourage staff to handle their own situations they acquire new skills - and you liberate time to do your own job. This workshop exposes those “next steps” and gives you information and insight on how to regain and grow your “Discretionary” time. This allows you more time to focus on leading your team/unit/area of responsibility. If you are in a Management/Leadership position and find yourself “overwhelmed” at times, you will find this workshop most useful in strengthening your leadership skills and developing those of your staff, while expanding your toolbox.
