Delegation Without Stress: What Managers Need to Know

Delegation Without Stress: What Managers Need to Know with Mike Clayton

I was a manager myself, so I know the challenge of getting the best from my team members – using their time well, keeping them motivated and developing new skills. 

And I also know the pressures on your time now you have more responsibilities.

The solution to both is… Delegation.

It doesn’t matter how good you are at doing stuff: once you become a manager or supervisor you need to be able to delegate.

And that’s what you’ll learn by the end of this course.
You’ll be able to delegate with the confidence that the task is under control.

What you’ll get

You’ll get 18 lecture modules and 7 assignments going deep into the craft of delegation. 
You’ll be able to delegate precisely and with confidence that the work will be done…
And done well.

A lot of your learning will come from exercises.
They are short ‘thinking’ exercises that will help you find a lot of the answers for yourself.

I will brief you by video on each exercise.
And then I’ll debrief you in a second video lecture. In that, I’ll share the best answers I have for each of the questions I set you.

This course has five sections
In the Introductory section we’ll talk about:

  • What delegation is
  • How to avoid reverse delegation, where you end up doing the work your team members are supposed to be doing for you.

A lot of new managers, supervisors, team leaders and project managers find it hard to delegate.
They give all sorts of reasons as to why they can’t do it.
So, in section 2 we’ll look at those excuses and why they are bogus. 

Delegation is a powerful organizational tool.
But only when used for the right reasons.
In section 3 we’ll look at:

  • The positive reasons to delegate, 
  • The reasons you should never use for delegation 
  • The tasks that you should keep to yourself and not delegate at all.

Section 4 is the main part of this course.
You’ll learn the five-step process for delegating effectively, and we’ll tear down each step to understand how it works. 

Finally, in section 5 we’ll wrap it all up. 

Who I designed this course for
This course is designed for you if:

  • You are a new manager, supervisor or team leader
  • … or you hope to be
  • You have some experience, but need a refresher on delegating
  • If you hope to succeed in management and want to make a rapid start
  • If you are unlikely to get all the support and advice that you want from your colleagues and your organization.

If this sounds like you and if you are ready to start succeeding as a leader, enroll now by clicking the button on the right side of the screen. I look forward to working with you.

Prior Experience The only prior experience you need is working life. But if you have management, supervisory or team leading experience you’ll find it even easier!
