Managing Multiple Priorities

Are you buried in mountains of paperwork? Do you feel anxious and frustrated because you've been asked to accomplish the impossible - yesterday!?

Overview

Proficiency and productivity within today’s highly technical and diverse work environments requires managers, supervisors, group leaders and lead workers be able to do more with less within shrinking, consolidated operations.

It is vital that leaders and performers alike be able to “think outside the box!” This frequently means completing multiple projects while, at the same time, being faced with competing and at times conflicting demands, priorities with scarce human and capital resources.

This program provides a unique context within which each participant will gain a new perspective in managing both simple and complex tasks and projects with fixed and often limited amounts of available resources. All this within strict, customer requirements and time frames!
