Leading confidently under time pressure: time competence instead of time management

What have I actually achieved today? Traditional time management often reaches its limits in the hectic day-to-day life of a manager—especially in light of hybrid working conditions. In this program, you will analyze your leadership and time management behavior using the INSIGHTS-MDI® potential analysis and create a practical action plan. You will be supported by selected online content. In coaching sessions, your plan will be further developed based on your personality profile and specific questions. A workbook will help you put your plan into practice. This will strengthen your leadership skills, enable you to make better use of team and employee resources, and increase your effectiveness. Develop your time management skills!
