Manager Tools - Delegation

27 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 4 years ago - ★★★★ - 7 ratings

Effective managers move work off their plate so they can work on the things that only they can do. This doesn't mean shoving the stuff you don't like doing onto your directs. It does mean helping them learn and grow by giving them more responsibility and more complex work. And, it's easy – 99% of the time, your directs will agree to take on new work. In this feed, we give you all the guidance you need to start and continue delegating effectively.
