Effective
Delegation Skills
Competent delegation skills can dramatically improve your
ability to develop other members of the team. Participants
learn how to develop their people through delegation and
the difference between a manager and a coach. A nationally
recognized Situational Leadership® model can be used to
help managers see how to balance the right amount of
direction and the right amount of support. Participants
also look at how they interact, and how they can be more
effective as team leaders.
Participants will learn how to:
• Gain Power By Letting Go Of Control
Learn specific steps to effective delegation and what you
can have others do more effectively. This frees you up for
more strategic planning.
• Develop A Proactive Environment
Examine ways to create a more proactive environment,
looking at both your "Circle of Influence" and your "Circle
of Control.”
• Decide What To Delegate
Some tasks are better delegated than others. Explore which
are best to delegate by first determining what your goal is
in delegating. Then use a task analysis to decide who to
delegate to and how to make sure they are successful.

People need different things at different times. Using the
Situational Leadership®, recognize where they are in their
development level for any given task.

Practice deciding when to be more task-focused and when to
be more supportive.
