Delegating is something we do all the time, from having children do their chores to outsourcing significant portions of your business. This course is designed to help you improve your skills by understanding how different people think, learn and receive information in a number of settings – from one-on-one to meetings.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to learn about your own style of management, how to adapt it and utilize the style that is most useful to the situation. Issues of control, which block many managers from delegating effectively, will be discussed in the context of needing perfection instead of striving for excellence.
