]]> Comment on Focus on Your Commitments – A New Way to Work by Dixie McIlwraith http://leodesousa.ca/2011/07/focus-on-your-commitments-a-new-way-to-work/comment-page-1/#comment-5022 Dixie McIlwraith Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:32:47 +0000 http://leodesousa.ca/?p=1276#comment-5022 Leo,I really enjoyed reading your blog about our "Working Sm@rt" programs and process. I hear a lot of great comments on the course but yours is the first blog I have read. I notice you also discuss Leadership training and I believe there's a synergy between Leadership and Management training.Leadership training includes Situational Leadership, Communications, Performance Management and Change Management, but often fails to help junior and middle management to organise and prioritise their work activities to ensure that goals and objectives are realised. Missing are the skills for managing workloads and outcomes such as Planning, Organising, Communicating, Controlling and Decision Making – the “why’s” and the “how’s” to ensure the work is done. That is where our "Working Sm@rt" training comes in. Leaders and managers need both the leadership skills and the practical skills to realize the company's vision and fulfill their own responsibilities. Best of luck with your blog, I will continue to follow it with interest. Dixie Leo,I really enjoyed reading your blog about our “Working Sm@rt” programs and process.

I continue to find value in the techniques that the course introduced me to. While I am far from perfect, I continue to aspire to get to an empty inbox!

I wish you continued success. It's great to see the results of the Working Sm@rt training. After taking this same training, I joined Priority Management, which I love and am proud to be part of. My biggest wish is that I learned these techniques and processes earlier in my career. I have posted your blog on our Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Priority-Management/165199987416 Janet. Great blog Leo. I wish you continued success.

I have reverted to taking notes in a blog post and then posting a tweet to direct people to the notes. Cheers!
