WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
Delegating is a critical skill for managers and team leaders. Successful managers know what responsibilities to delegate, how to explain assignments clearly, and how to monitor the performance of their employees, making sure to give them adequate feedback and development opportunities. Effective delegation – not dumping – frees up a supervisor’s time, provides valuable work experience, and invests employees. However, this skill is seldom taught to new managers.
