Delegation Skills for the Workplace (P795)

Mastering a Critical Skill for Empowering Others and Achieving Results

This course will be scheduled in early 2024. We will add dates to the website as soon as they become available. For more information please contact us at opentraining@pmctraining.com or call 613-234-2020, ext. 18.

Of all the key competencies for supervisors and managers, two of the most important are learning to manage individual performance on a daily basis and learning to delegate. Both represent difficult learning curves. Without mastering delegation, it is impossible to expand your range of responsibility, to empower others or to grow into your role and responsibilities. For many, it is a difficult transition from being paid for doing it yourself to getting the work done through others. Delegation is a critical skill to assist time-starved supervisors and managers in becoming more effective for themselves, their teams and their organizations.

This course offers a mix of self-awareness, guidance, skills, ideas, tools and methods to master this critical competence.

This is a one-day workshop in Ottawa.

Space is still available for all course dates listed, unless otherwise noted.
