Онлине Course Effective delegation for managers

As a manager, you've probably heard "You need to delegate more!". You nod your head and your thoughts begin to revolve around the most unpleasant scenarios - "If I give this task to someone else, they will neither do it well nor on time." or "My boss will think I can't handle it, so I gave the task to someone else... He will replace me."

If you've been in this situation, you're not alone. A lot of managers don't delegate for exactly the same imaginary reasons. The truth is, done right, delegation can help you and even give you a raise - the efficiency of not only your job, but that of your team, will improve significantly.

We say this so confidently because we know that delegation is the most effective way to increase the productivity, knowledge and skills of not only you as a manager, but also your team.
