Run decisive meetings
Research suggests that businesses waste millions of pounds every month by holding unnecessary or unproductive meetings. If you find yourself wasting time by sitting in on meetings which you don't need to attend, or which don't lead to focused action on business critical issues, then changes are needed. You and your business are going to benefit from rapid, noticeable differences in team productivity plus improved morale and effectiveness.
Project management
A lot of project management involves communications. For example, it is imperative that one's own team understand what the project entails and what specifically is required of them plus what the interim stages and timescales are. You are going to need to learn different styles of communicating so that your messages are correctly received and understood by people who may not be the same as you.
Perceptions & slurs - how to deal with them
We used to find it quite surprising how many Directors/Partners complained that they were victims of unfair perceptions of their personality/style.
Waste of time management
How we use our time is a critical skill if we are to consistently achieve the results we need in the workplace, or indeed, what we want to achieve in our lives. Almost every day we discover that our clients' employees are ineffective at managing their time and this applies equally to executives and managers as new entrants. Time management 'systems' offered in the market as solutions to time management problems today can be too complex and time consuming to use. In many cases they may be entirely inappropriate for your needs. If you are not careful, you can spend all of your time planning and organising your work and end up not delivering anything. OvationXL take a different approach by providing practical tips that can be implemented to great effect on Day One.
