Q. Any good time management skills trainers out there? training in UK ?

A. -It might not be of interest to you but could be to just about every other consultant/contractor but have you heard of BJC? British Junior Chamber (despite its name) is an out of hours management training organisation for 18-40 year olds. Members get the chance to participate in training in all of the "soft" skills such as Time Management, negotiating, team building, motivation, team management, chairmanship, public speaking, debating etc etc. They also provide train the trainer courses in a lot of these areas as well. They also recognise that enjoying yourself is an essential part of life and so make their courses as much fun as possible. If that doesn't do it then you sample some of their events. There are regular regional, national and international conferences and parties. When Birmingham hosgted the World Congress over 4000 people attended with a different nation(s) hosting a party every night. - I wonder if this is the first time it's been done in the UK ? Though personally I'd say that the people who *really* need the help are the ones in the Taylorist high-volume, low-control jobs (probably the biggest single workplace stressor of all, that. The more you limit people's choice over what they do and when they do it, the more stressful things become). Call centres spring to mind for example. Stress isn't the prerogative of senior management, though some of the ones I've known have been extremely good at creating it. Never mind, maybe it'll filter down. I do hope it filters down. Would be awfully sad to think companies were seeing it as some sort of elitist "management development" thing, wouldn't it ? - Diverged into other areas. Renowned for his "time and motion studies" where he studied the actions undertaken by workers and reduced them to their maximally efficient base components. Famously demonstrated how his techniques could more than double the maount of work a man could do in a day (by getting a guy to take micropauses Taylor got the guy who was moving the least amount of pig iron in a day to moving well and truly the most by a huge margin). Employers jumped on the theory since it promised to increase productivity and hence revenue. Workers had to get everything exactly right or they were fired and readily replaced since the country was in a bit of a depression earlier this century when Taylor was doing his work. He's known as the father of scientific management theory. His theory is abused though, for it appears to reduce workers to machinations or battery hens, yet it has qualities worthy of study as more than an item of historical interest.
