The Art of Delegation

Intended Audience: Anyone responsible for the work of others

OVERVIEW
Do all the tasks you personally handle require your level of expertise? Or could some of those tasks be completed by a subordinate? If you are responsible for the work of others, your success depends in part upon your ability to distribute the workload - to delegate. Fortunately, delegation is a skill that can be learned and practiced.

LEARNING POINTS
Among the questions we will address during this session, are the following:

  • What keeps me from delegating?
  • How do I decide what to delegate?
  • Who is the right person for the task?
  • What is the best way to delegate to an employee?

Remember: when you are performing a task someone else could do, you keep yourself from a task only you can do.
