Delegation will always be one of the most important management skills - and one of the easiest to get wrong. Good delegation saves you time, develops you people, grooms a successor, and motivates. Bad delegation causes you frustration, de-motivates and confuses the other person, and fails to achieve the task itself. Delegation is often one of the hardest skills for a manager to master. However, the skill can be learned.
In this workshop, we discuss the following topics:
I. What is Delegation and Why Delegate?
Successful leaders understand how to effectively delegate. Explore the advantages and disadvantages of delegation for your employees and organization.
II. Preparing For Delegation
There are two sides to the delegation preparation process. First, a manager must be prepared to let go of the task. Second, the delegatee must be prepared to accept it. Learn the skills to ensure you and your employee are prepared for delegation.
III. Delegate Duties for Training
What duties should you delegate? Most employees want more responsibility. It is important, however, that this increased responsibility leads to something positive for them. New assignments, then, should encompass as much skill development as possible. Learn three delegation criteria that benefit employee development.
IV. Three-Stage Delegating
What is an effective delegating method? Learn our three-stage process that managers can follow to ensure they cover all the bases when delegating.
V. Keep the Assignment Delegated/Checking the Temperature: How Can Delegation Be Monitored?
One of the most common reasons for the delegation process to fail is that the manager takes the work back! This must be avoided. In this final segment participants will explore proven ways of monitoring delegation and will learn to give feedback to those to whom they have delegated tasks.
