Today it is not unusual to find support staff professionals supervising the work of others on a regular basis. Temporary employees are hired to work during peak periods or to cover absences. Sometimes interns or co-op students help with the administrative overload. New administrative staff is often partnered with more seasoned staff for training purposes. Whatever the case, senior support staff is often called upon to delegate work, give feedback, and train junior staff. This program will help senior Administrative Professionals learn valuable supervisory skills. Topics included are delegating work, managing the performance of others, influencing motivation, and training others on the job. </font></p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="3" height="66" > </td> <td width="33%" height="66" ><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font color="#0000A0"><font color="#000000" size="-1"><b>Length:</b> 2 days.</font></font></font></td> <td height="66" width="65%" > &nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <br> <table width="96%" bordercolor="#000000" rules=NONE frame=BOX border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="#FFFFCC" height="385" > <tr> <td height="31" width="2%"> <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><b></b></font></td> <td colspan="4" height="31"><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><b><font size="+1" color="#0000FF">Time Management Makeover</font></b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="5" height="2">&nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td width="2%" height="293">&nbsp; </td> <td colspan="4" height="293"> <p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="-1"><i><b>What are your most important activities based on your job, role and responsibilities?</b> </i>After reviewing a way to categorize priorities, this workshop presents a method for planning and managing time that includes proactive goals, reactive situations, people issues and technology.
