Delegating for results

Georgia College FrontPage RSS Feed

Course Description:Telling others what to do does not constitute delegation. Delegation is the process through which a manager assigns responsibility to the subordinate to carry out the work on his or her behalf. New supervisors often think they are delegating, when in truth, they are only telling. Participants need tools to delegate effectively. Avoiding poor delegation given to subordinates is the goal of this workshop. Leaders often know how they should delegate; however, the problem is if delegation is being correctly applied in the workplace. Even those who know how to delegate will often fail to take the time to think through the delegation before actually delegating. There must be a transfer of power to act from the delegator to the delegatee. Authority must be so specific that the delegatee may proceed without fear of having his or her actions reversed.
