Use Multiple To-Do Lists
Many of us know that a to-do list can help us stay organised and focused, providing us with a list that we can tick off as we complete each task. It often gives us a feeling of accomplishment as we tick things off our list.
Take a Blended Approach to Learning to Deliver Real Business Impact
Taking a blended approach to developing your managers by integrating a digital hub of on demand learning and development resources will deliver greater business benefits than traditional methods alone. This is because it will:
Reduce training costs. Offering great online management training means that you can reduce the reliance on more traditional (and expensive!) development interventions.
Increase workshop engagement. You can ensure that everybody is fully prepared and on the same page before starting any formal training. They can use the digital hub to complete any pre-course questionnaires, read relevant materials, watch videos or listen to podcasts.
Improve the application of learning in the workplace. Blending formal training with just in time online management training will allow your managers the space and time to reinforce and apply the knowledge they have learned, in a way that works for them.
Enable managers to continually learn and grow. Having a digital hub of learning resources means that your managers can access virtual management training from anywhere, means they can continue with their learning long after the training has finished.
Give you insightful analytics about your managers. You will be able to see what they are learning, where they are excelling and where they are struggling. This will enable you to spot future stars as well identify anyone who needs a little extra help.
If you are looking to take a blended approach to the learning of your team and would like to undertake a more flexible approach, then The Manager’s Toolkit® offers the ideal solution. Please take a look at what The Manager’s Toolkit® can do for your business here.

When You Make a Mistake – Be Quick to Admit It
Admitting that you have made a mistake can be tough. No one likes to admit that they were wrong. It undermines our sense of competence. After all, if you mess up it must mean that you aren’t good at your job – right? But defending yourself, blaming others or trying to avoid the issue by saying something vague like, ‘Well mistakes were made…’ will only make things worse.
