Sharing the Load: Intro to Delegation
This program explores principles of effective delegation, and examines why delegation is often difficult. As you advance in your career, the things that you are responsible for tend to become more challenging and complex. No matter how busy you are, you only have 24 hours in a day. Leaders need o be able to use delegation as a tool to create time for themselves, move tasks to people better positioned to handle them, and to develop people on your teams. Yet even though the benefits of delegation are clear, leaders often struggle with it. Being effective at delegation requires a deliberate effort, but it's worth it.
