Balancing the Leadership Scale: Maximizing Team & Individual Productivity

Overview

As leaders, we are often pulled in many directions at once, with critical tasks and functions competing for our attention. We’re responsible for the success of our teams, but we also have our own projects and responsibilities. How do we ensure we’re maximizing the return on the investment of our limited time, energy, and efforts? What can we do to ensure we’re focused on high-value work while providing those we lead with opportunities to grow and develop?

This three-part series of workshops is designed for leaders and managers who are responsible for both individual and team-level results. Learners will gain valuable insights into creating a team-level culture of accountability, delegating for success, and implementing daily practices to enhance their personal leadership effectiveness.
