Leading with Focus and Purpose: Productivity Habits for More Effective Leadership

Tuesday, August 18, 2026 | 2:00 P.M. – 3:00 P.M. BST

About the Event

Every new manager quickly discovers that leadership isn’t just about developing people—it’s about balancing priorities while still making time to lead. The demands of managing their own work while supporting a team can leave most managers feeling overwhelmed.

Continuing our exploration of the skills managers need to succeed, this webinar focuses on one of the more common challenges facing both new and experience managers: managing competing priorities and prioritising their workload so they can create the time and space to lead with focus and purpose.

Recent research found that nearly 75% of professionals feel overloaded by the amount of work they face, while 50% end the day feeling they haven’t accomplished what matters most. For managers, this constant cycle of reacting rather than leading can reduce productivity, increase stress, and make it difficult to focus on the work that has the greatest impact.

Join Master Trainer Steve Wood as he shares practical strategies from the Getting Things Done® methodology to help managers work with greater focus, intention, and purpose. You’ll discover how building better habits, clarifying priorities, and creating trusted systems can help managers regain control of their workload, make better decisions, and create the capacity to lead others more effectively.

You’ll Learn How To

  • Break old habits and build new ones that help you work more effectively.
  • Meet deadlines by keeping track of responsibilities and priorities.
  • Make better decisions by clarifying priorities and identifying the right next actions.
  • Spend more time on the right work by knowing when to say yes—and when to say no.
  • Build healthier, more sustainable ways of working.
