Delegation: The Art of Delegating Effectively(Short Course) addresses the many facets of this subject, including when to delegate and to whom, the process of assigning work to others, and techniques used to overcome problems.

There’s a great deal more to delegating than simply passing extra work off to others. This short online course teaches supervisors and managers the skills they need to effectively delegate and ultimately, accomplish more.

Participants will learn valuable skills, including:

• Clearly identifying how delegation fits into their job and how it can make them more successful
• Identifying different ways of delegating tasks
• Giving better instructions for better delegation results
• Monitoring results
• Giving effective feedback

Note: these short courses are self-guided online courses and are not to be confused with our tutor-supported online courses.

You will be able to obtain a “certificate of completion” with your name and completion date on it.
