A Brief Course for Managers
8 simple steps to make the company two or three times more efficient
The learning course on how to work in the LeaderTask Company Management and StaffLogger Working Time Control will be useful to directors, top managers and supervisors on all levels.
From this learning course you will know:
* how to effectively organize work inside and outside the office
* how to successfully manage several projects
* how to increase your staff's efficiency
* how to complete more in less time
* how to get accurate reports about what is done and how much time is spent
Step 1. Tracking the working time.
There is a good saying: "if you want to change something, measure it". To change (improve) the efficiency of your staff, as well as your own efficiency, you need to know how much time is spent and what it is spent on. To do it, you need to track your own working time and the working time of your employees - find out how much time employees spend at their workplaces and what exactly they do. There is a special program for this purpose: StaffLogger Working Time Control
StaffLogger can be installed remotely from the manager's computer on employees' computers and report to the manager's computer what every employee does with the computer. It is important that StaffLogger logs how long and with what applications/sites the user worked. After the program is installed, the manager will be able to see the following reports:
* Time distribution by categories (Work, Internet, Entertainment...) Fig.1
* Time distribution by applications (Fig. 2.)
* Time distribution by websites (Fig. 3.)
* Time distribution by employees

Step 2. Task list.
You need a task list to be able to effectively manage projects, tasks and employees. It is absolutely necessary. And that is why: it is better to keep all plans on some paper or digital media for the mind to be always open to new fresh ideas and thoughts. It is this medium that must sacredly store the list of already developed tasks/ideas/thoughts and show you the necessary information whenever you need it. That is what the LeaderTask Company Management system is used for (www.leadercommand.com). It allows you to store all the necessary information: plans, tasks, projects, schedules, aims, contacts, any files; assign tasks to your employees, send files to them, organize the communication of employees inside a group, get reports on what has been done by employees and much more.
To begin with, you should download the software distribution package: http://www.leadertask.com/download/ltcompany.zip. After that unpack the archive file and run the installation file: ltcompany.exe. The second program in the archive file is ltserver.exe. It is server software that is used to provide communication for a group of employees. You should install both programs.
After you install ltcompany.exe, run LeaderTak Company Management. You will see the "Connection Settings" dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter the server connection data. If the client and the server are installed on one and the same computer, just click OK. If the server is installed on another computer, you will have to enter its IP address. To find out the server IP address, you should open the server and look at the bottom of its window - the status bar. After you click OK in this dialog box, you will see a reminder about buying the program. You have 45 days to test all program features for free, it is more than enough for getting to know the program. Click Continue in the reminder window and you will see the main window of Leadertask Company Management with demo data.
Report about the time spent by an employee.
It is possible to use this information (planned tasks, completed tasks, task statuses and spent time) to make conclusions about how the employee works and take measures.
