Every minute managers spend doing something someone else can do is one less minute they have to do something only they can do. If there are tasks you currently do that others can accomplish, or that others could help you accomplish, this workshop helps uncover those tasks and plan how to delegate them. Delegation can help you accomplish your goals, while advancing the abilities, confidence, and initiative of your employees. Delegation can help managers develop greater employee engagement.
This workshop is designed to help managers, supervisors, and emerging supervisors assess their current delegation practices and uncover additional strategies for more effectively empowering their team members. We explore skills that enhance the delegation process, while assessing personal inhibitors and facilitators of delegation.
