Identifying priority tasks and deciding who will tackle them when managing time and delegation.
You start the training activity by introducing the participants to one of the basic concepts of effective time management – identifying your priority tasks. The participants then take part in an exercise that helps them to identify their top priorities and establish less important tasks which can either be delegated or delayed. Following a group exercise on the benefits and typical objections to delegation, you lead a discussion on what is required to delegate effectively at work. This is followed by a role-play during which they have the opportunity to put the identified skills into practice. The activity concludes with a learning review, during which the participants make a key-point summary emphasising how they can manage their time more effectively at work.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to help participants to identify priority tasks and to decide who will tackle them.

Purpose: This training activity is intended for use by trainers as an integral part of any programme that aims to develop management skills. It is applicable on a wide range of management and supervisory skills programmes. It has also been used on individual courses in assertiveness skills, developing personal effectiveness, stress management, and time management. The activity has been designed so that it can stand alone, but will be more effective when used in conjunction with ‘Oriented to the future’, and ‘Planning the future’.
