A Leader’s Guide to Delegating - DVD

new.gif

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:

  • Analyze the Task: Get specific about what needs to be done to achieve the goal. This includes setting a deadline and sizing up resources.
  • Choose the Right Delegatee: The right candidate should be highly motivated and possess the needed skills for the assignment.
  • Assign the Task: Give clear instructions on desired outcomes – down to the details like resources available, deadlines, follow up steps and the amount of authority being given.
  • Execute the Task: During the task, ensure that other team members are ready to support him/her by communicating the assignment and the authority given.
  • Conduct Regular Feedback Sessions: Monitor issues so they don’t become problems, and give the person opportunities to ask questions about the assignment.

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 Unorganized Manager: Part 1 - DVD

    Featuring John Cleese

    Free Preview

    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.

    The benefits

    • Ideal for incorporating into time management and delegation courses at junior management level
    • Engaging and humorous plot to make messages highly memorable
    • Wrong-way, right-way scenarios help managers learn practical skills

    The Unorganized Manager: Part 2 - DVD

    Featuring John Cleese, Nigel Lindsay and Beatie Edney. Release date: 1996

    Free Preview

    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

    • Ideal for incorporating into time management and delegation courses at junior management level
    • Engaging and humorous plot to make messages highly memorable
    • Wrong-way, right-way scenarios help managers learn practical skills
