Delegation is a mostly under-used and often abused management function. Our effective delegation training courses will explain why - and how to use delegation properly and effectively.
'Delegation' is often used as if it meant the same as 'allocation', or used to dump unwanted work, or attempt to save time. None of these is what delegation is truly about, and can have really negative consequences. This delegation training for managers will show you how to get it right.

The three most common reasons for delegating are unhelpful and counter-productive. In contrast, use delegation for the right reason, and everyone benefits.
Even if you know what, and why, you still need to do it effectively. Here's how...
A step-by-step guide to creating a 'development through delegation' process that provides a win-win-win solution...
Delegation means, to some extent, letting go; but how then can you be sure that the job will be done well, without over-controlling the process? These training courses will show you how to find the right balance.
Our delegation training courses are ideal for anyone who feels they should be making more use of delegation, and wants to know how to get it right. In particular they are helpful for anyone who wants to:
Understand what 'delegation' actually means
Make the best use of their staff, by using delegation effectively
Give an effective delegation brief
Find the appropriate balance between trusting someone to do a new job well, and having too much control over their workWe'd love to (e)meet you. Book a video call now and we can have a vitual coffee and chat about what you're looking for.

The full day programme focuses on allowing participants to design the delegation process, put it into practice, and receive feedback.
We always provide a variety of learning approaches in each of our workshops.
Each workshop typically includes learning input from the trainer, supported by a range of mixed media, interactive elements, discussion and group work. Most workshops also include case work and practical skill-development activities to apply the learning, with more time dedicated to this in the longer courses.
In addition to providing a copy of any slide deck, we always provide a ‘want more’ section, of curated resources including book summaries, podcasts, downloads and articles.
The course was over too quickly, and had definitely whetted my appetite. The ‘want more’ section was a brilliant additional support, allowing me to explore the topic further.
A good question. The term is often misused - and these training courses will make clear the difference is between what people often think it means, and what it actually should mean...
That depends on what the 'extra' work consists of, and the attitude of the staff member to being given that work - all of which will be covered in these training courses.
Understanding what the term truly means, and the real and beneficial reason for delegating. Once that is clear, the rest is really about managing the process effectively.
If you want a thorough overview of the topic - what, why and how - then the 90-minute course may be enough; but if you want to explore the process more thoroughly, then the half day workshop may be beneficial, and the full day course allows the participants to practice the design and delivery of the delegation process.
