The art of delegating

General · Management · Classroom ·

Target Audience

Managers, executives, team leaders – in short, anyone who manages a team.

Objectives

As a manager, you are always short of time. Making that urgent marketing plan. Thinking up a new project. Reviewing the quarterly figures thoroughly. Following the latest trends in your field. All tasks that you add value to as a manager but don’t get around to because so many daily worries get in the way.

The aim of this training course: spending your time on things that are important and not getting involved in things your employees can solve themselves.

You will learn in one day to translate some useful concepts and techniques to your own context. And you can put that to work in the workplace.
