Many managers plead the problems of:

• insufficient time to manage effectively
• de-motivated and apparently undervalued staff
• constant management supervision of staff
• under-skilled individuals

Whilst these problems can be caused by a number of factors, at least one of the solutions is delegation. This is because team members can undertake many non-critical tasks and feel valued as a result of the added responsibility. Also, providing the tasks are well chosen, the team members develop additional skills, and become more self-reliant as a result of newly found confidence. If a manager is delegating successfully, the spin-off benefits for the organisation are significant, and include:

• a better managed business
• higher productivity
• more innovation
• enhanced market competiveness
• impact on bottom line profit

The course is divided into 6 sections covering the following areas:

• the benefits of delegation
• how delegation and coaching work together
• why delegation is underused or avoided
• the key elements of successful delegation
• when to delegate
• managing delegation
