Delegation is tough – it demands trust on both sides, a climate which is tolerant of mistakes, and first-class communication skills. Many people claim they ‘delegate’ when they don’t. Real delegation means giving people the chance to learn, to engage in work which is stretching and which has real responsibility. You as a boss give up some of your respsonsibiltiy for carrying out a task, even though you remain ultimately accountable for seeing that the task is done. It’s a tough balance to strike.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On completion of the workshop:
The Eisenhower Matrix - a tool for organising and prioritising time and tasks.
Belief Busting - techniques for challenging self-limiting beliefs of ourselves and others
Avoiding the traps of “fake delegation”.
Managers Meetings that engage and inspire, not tick a box
The Leadership Continuum - knowing what type of meeting you're holding and therefore how to craft it.
