Overview
Effective delegation is a core skill for all types of managers. Failing to delegate effectively has immediate and longer-term consequences for the individual manager, their team and the organisation. Effective delegation can ease managers’ workloads and create powerful development opportunities for their team members. This can help promote wellbeing and staff engagement.
This highly interactive training provides the tools to overcome the excuses for not delegating and the skills for increasing your ability to achieve results through others.
Who is this Course For?
