How to manage competing demands on your time

- Every professional these days is busy. Back when you were an individual contributor, the work may have been challenging and time-consuming, but at least your mission was clear. Doing what your boss said was important to do. But managers have a unique challenge in the modern workplace. You're the one setting priorities for and with, all the people underneath you and ensuring that they align with high-level corporate priorities. That's in addition to managing your own time and workflow. It's a balancing act and one that no one really teaches you to do. Fortunately, that's what we're going to be talking about. I'm Dorie Clark. I teach for the Duke University Fuqua School of Business and I'm the author of Reinventing You, Stand Out and Entrepreneurial You. I'm excited to share these insights with you in this course.
