Delegation In Leadership – Course Materials for Trainers (Save 20–30 Hours Preparation).

We noticed that many leaders struggled with delegation — either they held too much themselves, or they delegated poorly, leading to overload, confusion, or burnout.

Leaders told us they didn’t have a clear method for delegating tasks effectively, or for trusting their teams while still retaining oversight.

So we built the Delegation in Leadership course: a ready-to-use, editable training package that helps trainers teach leaders how to delegate wisely — clarifying what to delegate, how to communicate expectations, and how to empower team members — without requiring those trainers to spend 20–30 hours building the materials from scratch.

Our pack gives you everything you need: editable slides, participant workbook, trainer guide, hands-on activities, follow-through tools — and the freedom to customize everything to your audience and context.

You got this.
