Delegation skills

Course summary

Delegation is an essential part of management. Yet many managers fear to ‘let go’ of vital tasks, feeling that they run risks in delegating and that ‘it’s quicker to do it myself’. This course will give you the essential tools you need to delegate well.

AM, Translate Media

“The course provided valuable insight as to how delegation can go wrong, and how to avoid these pitfalls. I will be able to use the skills I have gained in my everyday interaction to enhance workflow.”

LD, Small Charities Coalition

“The course was fantastic, very thorough and full of practical tools, frameworks and tips to take forwards. The trainer spent time with each of us, listening to our needs, issues and challenges. ”

PB, University of Portsmouth

“Really enjoyed it - great interactive course with lots of different examples.”

CS, Queen Mary's College

“Very good. Although I was the 'quiet' member of the group I still have a lot to take back to work with me! ”

PD, ClientEarth

“This course has been a great asset to my working practice. It has enabled me not to just consider myself (and learn) as a manager, but also looking upwards at how I am managed.”
