 Management Delegation Produced - 2007
This course is also available for online training, see details below. What’s every top manager’s secret to success? In a word: delegate, delegate, delegate. But getting work done through others can often be difficult because it inevitably involves a loss of control. This program outlines a solid process for delegating and gives valuable insight to both new and experienced managers. Delegating responsibility is a dance - a delicate partnership between manager and subordinate involving trust, authority and above all, communication. Brand new managers find delegating to be the hardest part of transitioning into the new role – while many experienced managers still struggle to get it right years after assuming a leadership position. This training program provides a plan for successful delegation, presented in five steps:
Effective delegation accomplishes more than just the task at hand. It also builds trust for future delegations, helps employees develop new skills, reduces managerial stress and improves organizational productivity. Program Includes: VHS or DVD, Facilitator’s Guide, CD-ROM with PowerPoint Presentation and a pdf of the Delegatee Checklist, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards

The first two parts of The unorganized manager series show that no matter how efficient managers may think they are, they cannot be fully effective until they learn how to manage their time. In Part 2: salvation the manager has returned to Earth full of enthusiasm, but his inability to establish priorities and to delegate effectively lands him back in front of St Peter. The program shows why managers should consider the actual purpose of their jobs, and not the function. They must learn how to schedule time for active tasks, while leaving time for reactive tasks. By delegating and retaining responsibility, they will make more effective use of their own time and that of their team, and contribute to everyone’s motivation and morale. The benefits

The first two parts of The unorganized manager series show that no matter how efficient managers may think they are, they cannot be fully effective until they learn how to manage their time. In Part 3: damnation a hard-working manager is so disorganised that he unwittingly makes the lives of his family and colleagues a misery. His disorganisation leads to an early heart attack and a confrontation with St Peter. By being given a second chance on Earth, he is able to learn the principles of time management in a way that viewers, many of whom will be unaware of their own faults, can easily relate to.

featuring John Cleese, Nigel Lindsay, Beatie Edney and Ann Bryson. Release date: 1997 This program, which picks up from the story in the first two parts of the series but can be used as a stand-alone resource, shows how effective managers can create time to focus on their teams. The now organized manager is called to St Peter, this time following an annual health check. Here he learns that his management style still leaves a lot to be desired, since he is failing to organize his team. Through highly memorable wrong-way, right-way scenarios, viewers will learn three steps to successful delegation. It is the manager's role to ensure that each team member understands their purpose. The manager must define and identify their overall objective and their key result areas so that they know what is expected of them. Individuals should be set standards to achieve, measurable either by quality, quantity or cost, so that both they and the manager know how they are doing. And managers must agree targets with individual team members in order to help them develop and realise their potential, or to bring their performance back on track. Following the three steps, the manager will be able to improve the performance and results of individuals, the team and the organization. The benefits

Techniques of assertive behavior are shown in action in a series of different settings from a management meeting to a one-to-one conversation between colleagues. Straight talking shows that the basic rule of assertive behavior is honesty and that it's usually for fear of the response that honesty is avoided. However, this fear is generally over-exaggerated. The video is highly reassuring on this point for anyone who has doubts about volunteering what they think - even when asked to do so. It also demonstrates why aggressive behavior doesn't work in the long run and why it's important to establish a negotiating position and stick to it. The benefits

A selection interview is a bit like detective work. Suspects must be eliminated until the right person is found, whether from inside or outside the organisation. Making the right selection choice means knowing the budget was spent well, a valuable asset has been acquired and that colleagues will be motivated by the new team member. It's your choice shows that too many people get the costly decision wrong, introducing three managers who make common mistakes. It then shows the viewer how each manager learns from these mistakes. Ethelred the Unready is unprepared, knows little about the job or the candidate, and is constantly interrupted by colleagues as the interview progresses. It is not until he is more organised and professional that he is able to make the best choice. Ivan the Terrible would rather trumpet his own opinions than encourage the candidate to talk. He eventually learns about asking open questions and listening to what the candidate has to say. Gillian the Silent allows the candidate to take over. She fails to probe or voice her doubts, and realises she has to be more affirmative and specific to gain the information she needs. The benefits

Many people are still not comfortable talking about their personal problems openly at work but in general we've come a long way from the 'lunch is for wimps' attitude that characterised business just a few years ago. Indeed today people are more concerned about how they can achieve work/life balance rather than being macho about their workload. The drivers for this change in focus aren't hard to find. Market competition is fierce, the pace of work is intense and change is endemic. Add to this environmental stress such as commuting and the ongoing demands of home life and it's no surprise that companies are looking ever more seriously at the ways in which they can support their staff. It's within this context that forward-thinking managers need to develop their counselling skills. All managers will face the issue of dealing with staff whose personal problems are affecting their work and they need the know-how and sensitivity to address such situations. The benefits

Part 1 - Messing Up a Meeting, focuses on Jeremy preparing to go to a regular meeting with his colleagues. Unfortunately "preparing" doesn’t describe what we see him doing.

These show how to cope with colleagues whose behavior stops meetings from getting results. Jeremy fails to handle the destructive behavior of each of the menaces and the meeting they are all attending becomes a farce. These two videos are available separately.
