Delegating for Results

When someone is promoted to a management position, they often hang onto the work that they have known and do well, as well as taking on new management responsibilities. This eventually causes difficulty as time becomes more precious, the individual becomes more busy and, as a worst case scenario, the manager ceases to be effective.

This half-day session is designed to help managers to regain control of their time and release some of the work that their team members could be doing, thereby freeing up the manager to focus on work that will yield most benefit to them and their organisation. After this change in working habits is made, managers can go home at the end of each day feeling that they have once again achieved something.

This session can be delivered in-house for a team of managers, or it can be delivered as a coaching session on a one-to-one basis. At the end of the session, participants will be able to:

• Understand what delegation is and how to do it effectively
• Recognise and describe the benefits of delegation, for themselves, their team members and their organisations
• Choose the right people to delegate to, for the right reasons
• Use the techniques of good delegation to improve performance within their team.

Delegation is such a good development tool, when done properly, for all involved. Previous participant feedback includes:

"Very good course - enjoyed it"

"Good session - liked the link to development"

"As always Amanda (course facilitator) lived up to expectation"

"Found methods of delegation very useful"
