With this 21st century productivity instruction, you can be assured nothing slips through the cracks as you mesh your desire to succeed with the technology of Microsoft Outlook as your partner.

You will receive instruction on how to:
  • Infuse goal setting principles into Microsoft Outlook
  • Assure deadlines with mid-check points are met

The only thing left for you to do is inspire employees and lead them to the desired crazy results.

Why should you Attend: Managers often struggle getting all team members on the same page, managing their workflow and holding them accountable so projects have a successful conclusion and meet company objectives.

Managing team workflow is difficult because different personalities and different educational skill sets often have different perspectives. For instance, take the difference between engineers and marketing. If they happen to be on the same team, you will need techniques to keep them marching in the same direction.

A logical workflow has several components and in this webinar we explore those components and help you get organized so you get crazy results.

One component, Microsoft Outlook (a tool everyone has on their desktop), solves the problem of getting everyone in sync with the help of technology.

Outlook helps you send clear assignments or reinforce assignments made in person and track progress to a successful conclusion. Using the proven methods taught in this webinar, you'll be able to spot bottlenecks or observe when an employee is stuck or behind, then you can have an appropriate conversation with the employee with the purpose of removing blocks to action.

The instruction focuses on setting objectives, assigning responsibilities to individual team members, and using Microsoft Outlook to keep on top of progress of team members in fulfilling their assignments and holding them accountable.

This requires upfront work and diligent follow-up with a managerial style that does not come across as micromanaging. The features demonstrated in Microsoft Outlook makes this process stress-free and enables team members to work with creativity while maintaining steady progress toward the final deadline.

Don't let your team be scattered and unfocused. Establish a logical workflow for team members and keep projects on track with this information.

Mark your calendar now. Attend and learn fool-proof organization. Set up Microsoft Outlook as instructed. Do the up-front organizing then get out of the way and watch crazy results happen with your team.

Areas Covered in the Session: This webinar makes you and your team more efficient and more effective, eliminating the spinning of wheels and wondering what the next action item is.

In this webinar we will refresh and refine the principles of:
  • Setting objectives and realistic deadlines
