Delegation training course

Why learn about delegation and empowerment? Delegation is the assigning of tasks to someone else. Effective managers and leaders are great at delegating. This brings benefits to the organisation, the team member and to the manager themselves. When done well, delegation helps empower and incentivise people. It creates opportunities for learning, prevents bottle-necks and single point failures, and is used in succession planning initiatives.

Most importantly, effective delegation creates time for you – time to do more value-added tasks or to achieve a better work-life balance.

“Delegation refers to the transfer of responsibility for specific tasks from one person to another. From a management perspective, delegation occurs when a manager assigns specific tasks to their employees. By delegating those tasks to team members, managers free up time to focus on higher-value activities while also keeping employees engaged with greater autonomy.” Harvard Business School
