What are the most important things you do in your role, as a manager? What is managerial work?
We answer emails, complete paperwork, sit through meetings, but when you strip away the fluff, the most important contribution we make, as managers, is to make decisions.
- Who should be assigned?
- How should something be done?
- Which goal has greater priority, today, right now?
- Are our methods effective?
Next Monday, February 22, Working Leadership Online kicks off our next Subject Area, Decision Making, Time Span of Discretion.
- Learn three proven ways to make better decisions.
- Understand this critical metric to determine who should be making which decisions.
- Understand the balance between facts and intuition in the decision making process.
If this strikes a chord in you, as a manager, this is your opportunity. We’ve reserved fifty slots for our friends and family to participate, on us. If you would like to reserve your spot, follow this link –
Looking forward to meeting you online.
Hello Tom,
Well I really got lazy with the last work on Goals – I was stumped for some reason. I look forward to reading how others took this work. Some of the challenge is being the President, I do not have a Manager per se. The Board is as close to one I have. So, I am ownderign if I can have one of my managers take part in this next one (with the spots you are offering) or future ones? Or do they have to take part in all of the lessons?

Prioritizing is one of the most important works that a manager need to do. It is the base for all other works done by a manager. Well Said, here.
