Delegation Masterclass

Description

Effective delegation is one of the most valuable skills you can master. It reduces your workload and develops employee skills. Delegating prepares employees who work for you to be able to handle your responsibilities and simultaneously allows you to advance to other career opportunities within your organization.

Delegation is often one of the hardest skills for a manager to master. However, the skill can be learned. This training will explore many of the facets of delegation, including when to delegate and to whom to delegate. We will also go through the delegation process step by step and learn about techniques to overcome problems.

As a supervisor or manager, you will likely always have responsibility for more things than you can handle by yourself. You cannot adequately plan and perform every task. If you feel your employees aren't ready to take on tasks by themselves and you never delegate, they never will be ready.
