Effective delegation is one of the hardest skills for a leader to develop. We gain promotion on ‘task excellence’, but we need to step up and take the lead, not stay in the safety of the detail. Effective delegation skills helps you understand the benefits to self, team and organisation, and explore when, how, and who to delegate to effectively.

Benefits:

  • Identify what effective delegation is and is not.
  • Explore why delegation is important to leaders, teams and organisations.
  • Understand what the benefits of effective delegation are to you and your team.
  • Explore the impact of not delegating on a team, such as micro-management and perfectionism.
  • Identify your barriers to effectively delegating and stepping up into leadership.
  • Exploring different methods for delegated tasks with confidence for all involved.
  • Apply and test delegation skills with recognised scenarios
  • Practice and discuss delegation in a safe learning environment.

At the PMA we pride ourselves on the understanding that one size doesn’t fit all and – therefore, we have various formats of our workshops and can adapt any programme / agenda to suit your local needs and necessaries – so, please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
