DELEGATION
For Empowerment and Top Performance | 1.5 - 2.0 hours
Are your leaders feeling overworked and burnt out? This course provides relief both to your leaders and to those they supervise. Leaders love it – and their dirt reports build skill sets and capacity.
Immediate application: Participants leave with a written action plan for delegating a REAL task to an identified team member, complete with tasks, subtasks and more.
COMPONENTS:

we hesitate to delegate, or simply forget, leading to burnout, overwhelm and dilution of focus. - Keys to Successful Delegation: What makes some delegation successful and other delegation not?
- Identification of a real, current task on each leader’s plate that is ideal for delegation.
- Identification of a leader’s real team member best suited for a delegated task (it’s not always the star performers).

GOLD COURSE 5:
SUPPORTING BOTH: YOUR TEAM + UPPER MANAGEMENT
Unique + Essential | 2.5 - 4.0 hours
One of the most difficult challenges for any leader is to support their team’s needs and concerns while also supporting the policies, procedures and direction of senior management. Often a manager either bonds with their employees by joining a gripe session against senior management, or the manager will so fiercely support upper management that s/he will lack empathy (and therefore lose credibility) with her/his staff.
This training shows leaders how to support BOTH teams, therefore decreasing divisions within the company and the “Us vs. Them” mentality that destroys morale and performance.
Immediate application: Each practices using a REAL issue that requires they support both teams.
COMPONENTS:
- Highly-Interactive.
- How to support one’s team when the team is upset about upper management policies or actions.
- How to maintain transparent with upper management while supporting one’s team.
