<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">What’s one of the single biggest frustrations/struggles for new leaders? Time management. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On today’s episode, co-hosts Richard Lindner and Jeff Mask take on the challenge of helping new leaders manage their time effectively as they transition from an individual contributor role to the role of manager. That shift is no joke, they say. And hopefully it helps to know that you’re not alone. No less than 100% of leaders find this difficult. And no two leaders approach time management the same way. Jeff and Richard don’t. Their suggestion is to learn as much as you can, then put a plan into action. Think of it as an experiment. If it doesn’t work, and you have to change it, that’s still a win. It’s a stepping stone on your way to success.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Listen in for some helpful guidelines and frameworks you can test out as you transition into leadership.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How the 3 Ps and the 4 Ds can help eliminate frustration and challenges</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How to use the Eisenhower Matrix as you plan your day, week, and month</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The pros and cons of a player-coach role</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">How and why to use day-theming in addition to calendar-blocking</span></li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong>LINKS AND RESOURCES:</strong></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><a href= "https://readytolead.com/podcast/delegating-4-simple-steps-leaders-can-take-to-free-up-time-while-getting-more-done/"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">RTL 02/14 episode on delegating</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li styl
