Delegating for Success

Delegation isn't dumping a task on someone's desk — done properly, it's a structured handover with its own toolkit.

About the course

This 1-day workshop for management uses the conscious/unconscious learning matrix to align expectations, then applies a logical framework and mini project management approach to delegation itself. Delegates also cover setting authority levels and giving timeous, useful feedback. The result: managers who delegate with clarity instead of assumption.
