Leadership Development, 20 minutes, self-paced
Time Management & Delegation
Delegation is handing a responsibility to a colleague or direct report so a leader can spend time on the work the new role actually requires. This course covers when delegating is appropriate, the mental roadblocks that stop leaders from doing it, how to pick and onboard a delegate, and how to respond when a delegate makes a mistake or is ready for full ownership.
Included with the Thrive Platform, flat per organization. Courses set the language; live workshops are where the skill is built.
