Effective delegation is at the heart of good management, yet many managers hesitate to entrust work to their employees for any number of reasons:

• They don’t know how to delegate;
• They don’t want to burden their staff;
• They believe they can do it better than their employees;
• They fear an employee may make a mistake;
• Or worse, they fear that an employee may outperform them.

The result? – Managers suffer burnout, employees’ skills remain untapped, and morale suffers. The good news is that you can acquire the art of the handover!

This webinar will help you:

• •Explore your own mindset about delegating work
• Identify what work can be delegated (and what should not)
• Choose the right person for the task
• Develop a plan and a process for delegating effectively
• Add a critical skill to your manager’s tool kit

• How can you really achieve project management excellence?
