Time Management for Leaders - Brisbane

Time Management for Leaders - Brisbane

You know that feeling when you're constantly putting out fires, your inbox is overflowing, and you're staying back late just to catch up on the work you should've done during the day? Yeah, we've all been there. The thing is, when you're leading a team, your time management issues don't just affect you - they ripple through your entire department.

I've worked with hundreds of leaders who thought they were just naturally disorganised or that being busy meant being productive. Spoiler alert: it doesn't. The reality is that most leadership roles come with zero training on how to actually manage your time effectively while juggling team needs, stakeholder demands, and your own workload.

This isn't some theoretical course where we'll talk about colour-coding your calendar (though we might touch on that). We're talking real-world scenarios like dealing with unexpected urgent requests when you're already booked solid, or figuring out how to delegate without feeling like you're dumping work on your team. You'll learn how to distinguish between what feels urgent and what's actually important - trust me, there's a massive difference.

What You'll Learn

You'll walk away knowing how to create boundaries that actually stick, not just the ones you set on Monday and abandon by Wednesday. We'll show you how to delegate effectively without micromanaging, and how to have those awkward conversations about priorities with your boss or stakeholders.

You'll also discover practical techniques for managing interruptions (because let's face it, people will always "just have a quick question"), scheduling your most important work during your peak energy hours, and creating systems that work even when everything hits the fan. Plus, we'll cover how to model good time management for your team without becoming the time police.

We'll tackle the guilt that comes with saying no to requests, and give you scripts for redirecting non-essential tasks. You'll learn to spot the difference between being responsive and being reactive, and how to create space for the strategic thinking that leadership actually requires.

The Bottom Line

By the end of this session, you'll have a personalised time management system that fits your leadership style and your team's needs. More importantly, you'll have the confidence to protect your time so you can focus on what actually moves the needle. Your future self (and your team) will thank you for finally getting off the hamster wheel of busy work and into the driver's seat of productive leadership.
