Managing Work

Nom@d Learning has discovered that many managers consider the transition from staff member to manager the most challenging. It is often the most difficult transition of their careers. This period of change is often difficult. Moving from being a team member or a technical expert to working with others requires a major shift in perspective. A manager’s job requires different skills and behaviours.

Here are some of the common skills a manager needs when managing work. The topics link to articles I have written.

Time Management

The old adage states that “time is money,” and neither is a resource to be squandered. Disorganised work introduces unnecessary stress and waste to an already hectic work environment.

Practicing the principles of time management will help your organisation. It will lead to a more productive and efficient workplace. Team members will make the most efficient use of their workday.

Meeting Management

Workplace meetings are the best way to communicate with all stakeholders. Done well, meetings keep projects on track and move business agendas ahead. But poorly planned, unstructured meetings can waste time and actually prevent more important work from getting done.

In this article, we will explore the benefits of reducing meetings. We will understand the meeting culture and examine the downsides of excessive meetings. We will discuss strategies to cut back on meetings and address resistance to change. We will emphasise the significance of finding the right balance between collaboration and avoiding meetings.

Presentation Skills

A professional may be called on at any time to deliver a presentation. Professional presentation skills are essential for career development. This is true whether it’s introducing a proposal to the C-Suite, facilitating team training, or leading a conference session. It also applies to customer-facing webinars.

This article will help participants prepare a compelling presentation and overcome common presentation issues.

Creative Problem Solving

Traditional problem-solving techniques can stifle creativity and limit input to only the most outspoken or highest-ranking team members. Albert Einstein emphasised, “We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking.” The thinking that created problems should not be used to solve them.

If your organisation values out-of-the-box thinking, these articles are for you.
