Introduction to Time Leadership2:28
“I need more hours in the day!” Leaders and Managers... How would you like to claim back 20% of your working week? Because this is the entirely feasible and achievable aim of this course. Let's find out how.
Where your value really sits2:46
We look at the rationale for why this work is so important - A clue is in the VALUE you bring to the organisation as a leader or manager. And it starts with a phrase which I invite you to aim for and hold in mind for this course:
"ONLY DO WHAT ONLY YOU CAN DO"
The value void3:52
There are reasons why you might be drawn away from working at the highest level of your qualifications, experience, and ability. There tend to be things that pull your focus away from high-value work to work of a lower value, creating a value void above you.
I refer to this as Attention Migration.
Bill The Boss - review of the exercise3:48
The exercise you should have just done looks at the cost to an organisation of Bill doing lower-level work. But the cost may be more than you think. This lecture talks about the exercise.

Introduction to the Time Leadership acronym I.D.E.A.S.4:21
Learn about each 'stream' of time Leadership. This is the structure (or 'filter') through which we aim to claim back 20% of your time.
The first letter of the acronym: I is for IDENTIFY3:25
If we are going to save or claim back time, it is imperative to identify what it is we spend our time actually DOING.
Time Thieves4:26
Some things that happen during the working day literally suck time away from us... could we address any of these Time Thieves?
Important or Urgent (both or neither?)4:47
Urgent tasks are subject to an imminent deadline. Important tasks are crucial to the business but don't have to be done today. Combined (Urgent AND Important) they indicate firefighting and stress... but there is an answer...

IDEAS out of order!1:08
A quick reason why we now deal with each letter of the acronym out of order.
E is for ERADICATE3:55
Let's look at the circumstances under which we could eradicate something we currently do. We learn a set of robust questions to ask of a task to check its value or even its overall validity.
A is for AUTOMATION5:28
It's been said that if you find yourself doing a task for the third time - it's probably time to automate it. Let's look at some tools and techniques for automating tasks or activities.

S is for SUBCONTRACT5:05
Under what circumstances might we consider sub-contracting a task?” In other words, what is it about a task, project, or output that makes it a suitable contender for subcontracting?
S is also for SEEK RESOURCES3:42
Where you have no authority to subcontract, then it's still possible to get your paymasters to invest in the resource you need. The trick is to show how the issue is ALREADY a cost to the organisation, and how your solution delivers better value.
THE BUSINESS CASE5:32
We need to present our business case – not in terms of how much it will cost which can feel like a loss to the business – but in terms of value or return - how much the business will gain. Find out how.

D is for DELEGATION3:23
We look at what delegation really is; when delegation should take place (and when it certainly should NOT); and why people DON'T delegate.
Blockers to effective delegation4:31
This lecture takes you through some of the answers to the three questions we asked in the previous lecture. What is delegation; when should we do it; and why we don't!
The six 'C's of delegation4:52
If a leader claims that they can’t delegate, then we must establish why. And all the blockers we heard in the previous lecture can be addressed by management or leadership action.
Ultimately, it’s a question of TRUST. Without trust, then how can you give someone permission to act with your authority?
The four steps to develop trust3:41
Using the six C's as a backdrop, understand these four stages which naturally lead to trust - and effective delegation.

Introduction to your Time Leadership Plan3:10
If, as a result of committing to taking action using these Time Leadership principles, you invest some time and find yourself with a return of time in the future… what will you do with it? It's incredibly important to decide!! And here is where your plan becomes the most useful element of your learning so far.
Time Leadership Plan - worked example4:24
Here, we take a genuine Time Leadership plan (produced by a previous delegate) and talk through the elements in turn. This will act as a guide for when you write up your own plan.
BONUS LECTURE - AND AN OFFER3:08
Just a quick THANK YOU - and a suggestion as to what you could do next.

Description

DO YOU NEED MORE TIME? How about an extra day a week?

I put this course together with the specific aim of helping leaders and managers claim, back 20% of their time. That’s a day a week.

So, by the end of the course, you will have a plan to, not only claim back time – but also know exactly how to invest that time for the benefit of your team, your organisation – and quite possibly for your own stress levels and general sanity!

SOUNDS IMPOSSIBLE?

The key to claiming back 20% of your time is a specific filter I use with my clients. That filter has five main components based on the acronym I.D.E.A.S. Not only will you learn exactly what each of these letters stands for – but you will also master the approach for each element allowing you to concentrate on the work that only you can do. And don’t worry, the course provides lectures and full worksheets for each step.

The perfect student for this course is an existing supervisor, team leader, manager, or executive in an organisation – or even someone who runs their own company. Crucially, you will have at least one or more people in your team for whom you are responsible in that generally accepted management or leadership capacity.

It doesn’t matter how long you have been in charge of others – but I ask you to turn up with an open mind – and to be prepared to at least consider changing the way you do certain things...

Try out the unlocked lectures - if you have the time :-)

Who this course is for:

You are someone who wants to be a more efficient and effective manager or leader
This material is suited to existing (and possibly frazzled) Leaders and Managers
You already have at least one person for whom you have managerial/leadership responsibility
You are already working beyond 100% and can't see how time traditional management could possibly help!
You will also benefit from this material if you are hoping to become a leader or manager

Time management is dead. This is 'TIME LEADERSHIP'
