Improving your delegation skills

Being able to delegate tasks to others can be one of the hardest managerial responsibilities. The temptation is just to do it yourself – after all you’re likely to do a much better and quicker job, and it’s going to take more time to explain it to someone else.

This common view leads you to slowly grind to a halt as you become overwhelmed with work. Your own efficiency can suffer and you can have disgruntled and demotivated colleagues who would be only too happy to take more responsibility.

This session will give you the confidence to let go of tasks without losing control and give you the skills to use delegation as a motivational tool.
