How to stay focused at work as a manager when everyone wants your attention!

Today it is difficult to stay focused especially as a manager. Everyone wants your attention: clients, colleagues, your employees, your boss! How can you stay focused and work on the most important things without distraction?
What can you do as a manager?
Are you always able to be contacted and available as a manager? Do you think that makes a good manager? After all, you want to be there for your employees at all times, right?
You are making a serious mistake. Always being able to be contacted is nonsense!
Anyone who can be interrupted this way works completely inefficiently. At the end of the day, a lot seems to have happened, you feel stressed and haven't done anything really important. The crucial, important work has been left behind.
How can you save more time and act more self-determined as a boss?
Try to be less other-directed. How? In this video I´ll give you 5 tips you can implement instantly.

Just got cornered into taking a supervisory position where I’ll be managing 8 others, 5 who are far more experienced to me. I’ve been binge watching all your videos and have learned a lot. Thanks!

[@berndgeropp-d]

congrats to your new position.

For the boss/manager it is even easier. From the other point of view, when boss expects employee being available alll the time and often interrupts employees, it is even worse. But maybe that is more related to micro-managing.

Thanks for the video, Bernd. My current role involves managing three others and wearing lots of hats. It does get tricky!

Newly promoted to a supervisory position (4-5 engineers), and I'm really enjoying your videos! I have to wonder how working from a cubical impacts one's ability to close the door, and remove unnecessary distractions! And, in the telework era where we use Microsoft Teams for most business communications... can certainly make it difficult to "hide" from others or turn off notifications. Thanks for the time and thought you've put into your videos!

How do you change "expectations of accommodation for all requests" from others while avoiding the trap of being perceived as "difficult" by those who are dumping work on you (including management that you do not report to). My supervisor is not supportive and feels that anyone who needs something from me is my "customer", therefore I am obliged to "satisfy" my customer at all times.

Thank you
