Delegation is an important feature of many workplace relationships and the need for effective delegation is on the increase - now more than ever, there is greater pressure for teams to achieve more, better and faster. Despite understanding the value of delegation, many people say that they wish they could delegate more, but that they just don’t trust that the job will be done to the required standard. As organizations and teams become more complex, roles and responsibilities are often less defined and there are numerous areas of potential difficulty, confusion and conflict.
However, although there are potential pitfalls, many of these can be alleviated – through the effective use of a delegation process, through developing awareness of two-way responsibilities and through specific skills development. This course will enable participants to achieve more at work and to empower colleagues by learning to delegate more effectively. It will help them to overcome any inhibitions about delegation, and demonstrate the benefits of delegating important and stretching tasks.
It is particularly recommended for anyone required to manage, to motivate or to lead others at work, whether they are a part of the same team/department, or whether they are outside their direct line-management responsibility.
Management Style Assessment
In addition to the face-to-face element of the training, we also offer an optional assessment, which can be completed as a self-assessment or as a 360 degree appraisal of your management and/or supervisory style that under-pins effective delegation. Whist it is entirely optional, the assessment is extremely useful for enhancing self-awareness and for providing a focus for on-going learning and development. The test is in interactive pdf format and can be completed at any time on your own computer. Once you have completed the test, you simply click on a "submit" button and we will automatically receive your answers for collation into a comprehensive printed report, including some useful suggestions of potential areas for improvement.
One-to-One Training
As an alternative to attending an open course with delegates from other organisations, we also offer "Effective Delegation" as individual training on a date of your choice. Feedback from delegates who have had a one-to-one session is extremely positive, as it means that you can have the undivided attention of one of our experienced trainers, and can therefore make sure that the session is entirely focussed on your individual needs/interests.
Our standard one-to-one training includes a flexible combination of face-to-face and telephone sessions. Most popular is a half-day (4 hour) face-to-face session either at your work premises, or at a convenient local venue, plus two one-hour telephone sessions - one before and one after the training. The telephone sessions help us to ensure that the face-to-face training is tailored exactly to your needs and that you are able to put your learning into practice to make real improvements to your performance at work.
The cost is dependent upon the location and duration of the face-to-face session and we offer discounts for two or more sessions. For example, our standard one-to-one training with the face-to-face session in Central London costs £550 +VAT.

"Excellent, many thanks! I now realise I had seen delegation as a way of palming off tasks I couldn't manage myself, but am really keen to go back to work an use it as a way of developing and motivating my team."
“I can see now how important it is to follow a process of delegation to make sure that the person has all the information and support they need.”
“A great course, really practical and down to earth. I have a much clearer understanding of how I can make the difference between a delegated task that goes horribly wrong and one that is a success, and a positive experience for all involved.”·
“Thanks for another great course! I am really pleased to know that it is ok for me to delegate, as long as I do it 'right' by choosing the right person, setting the boundaries/expectations and giving enough support”
