A hands-on course where you'll plan what to delegate, and how to do it
Learn which tasks are most suitable to delegate to others, and how to keep control of the quality of the output.
This action-focussed workshop will equip you to delegate effectively to others in a way which will maximise the probability of the task being completed to the right standard.
