Empowerment through Delegation

The ability to delegate is an essential skill of highly effective managers.  Delegation is not a matter of shedding workload when things gets busy.  The Art of Delegation is using it as a strategy for developing staff and building the capacity of the business.

Delegation is ..."giving someone else the authority to carry out a specific task and the responsibility for carrying it out, while you retain the accountability for it."  (K Cole, 2005)

The Art of Delegation workshop will provide participants with an understanding of the delegation process and the essential knowledge for delegating effectively.  The workshop will cover: 

• Why delegate?
• Why don't managers delegate?
• What to delegate?
• What NOT to delegate?
• How to delegate?

Empowering your people through delegation to contribute and develop requires trust and patience. However this investment will help to motivate staff, result in increased productivity, build the capacity of the workforce and make the manager's use of time more efficient.
