Effective Delegation
Course Description
Delegation is the assignment of authority to another person to carry out specific activities. This is one of the most abused skills in the management repertoire. It often feels like being dumped upon to the delegatee, and can feel like an abdication of power to the delegator. Effective delegation drives authority down through the ranks of the organization. In this course, we will explore the key factors in delegating appropriately and effectively.
This is an interactive course, participants are expected to participate and contribute to the class processes.
