Overview

đź•® Cross Civil Service

Delegation is about achieving through other people what you can’t achieve by yourself. It’s an important management skill, smoothly handing over responsibility while retaining accountability. Done properly, it frees up the time we need to focus on our main objectives – but it’s not just about us. Delegating the right work at the right time also means empowering team members by showing faith in their capabilities.

Whether you’re a new or experienced manager, this course shows you how to delegate effectively. You’ll consider the importance of trust within what is essentially a contract between manager and team member. You’ll also be introduced to tips and techniques for ensuring that work is done on time, in budget and to the required standard.
