Course overview
What Is Time Management for Leaders?
Time management for leaders is the practice of dividing scarce hours between strategic planning, team management and stakeholders without losing quality or well-being. The course helps leaders assess their current practices, remove common time-wasters, decide what comes first, structure their week, cope with disruption and give their team ownership of the work they can do.
Interactive workshops, real-world case studies and feedback on their own plans let participants design a personal time management system that fits the demands leaders in Indonesia meet.
Leaders in Indonesia’s bustling business landscape face challenges that call for agile time management, whether they run a multinational corporation or a budding start-up. The course helps them balance strategic planning, team management and stakeholder engagement, and build a personal time management system that keeps quality and well-being intact.
Why it matters
Why Time Management Matters in Indonesia
In Indonesia’s vibrant business landscape, leaders divide their days between strategic planning, their teams and stakeholders. Managing that time with agility keeps quality high, protects well-being and steers organisations towards success.
Competing demands
Strategy, people and stakeholders all claim a leader’s day, and not everything can fit.
Focus on strategy
Leaders buried in detail have little time left for strategic planning.
Teams follow the leader
When leaders model punctuality and good planning, their teams tend to follow.
Sustainable workloads
Firm boundaries help leaders in Indonesia guard their energy and well-being.
The Knowles leadership approach
From Insight to Impact
Participants follow a six-step loop, starting with an assessment of their current practices and ending with a review that feeds the next week, so the system keeps improving with use.
Leadership time in action
- 1. AuditWhere does my time go?
- 2. PrioritiseWhat matters most now?
- 3. PlanWhen will it get done?
- 4. ProtectWhat must I say no to?
- 5. ShareWho else should do it?
- 6. ReviewDid my week deliver?
