SMART DELEGATION

The art of entrusting responsibility to others and achieving desired outcomes   

“If you want to do a few things, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact, learn to delegate.” - John C. Maxwell

The primary job of a leader is to ensure work is done on time and in excellence. Often leaders choose to hang on to all tasks as they fear no one else can do it right and on time or believe they don’t have time to delegate. This creates stress and work overload – sometimes burnout. Thus, by delegating and entrusting others, leaders can accomplish work effectively and efficiently though others by sharing the workload. The benefits include time spent wisely, lower stress, and increased trust and engagement.

 

Core Focus: Participants will learn skills for effectively delegating work enabling the leader to concentrate on higher priority responsibilities, and enable the growth and development of their team members. They will practice skills designed to increase individual and employee productivity, energy and results.
