Course outline

In an effort to provide you with as much value as possible, we’re going to show you how we would use the content provided to deliver the key sections of this training course.

What is leadership – Leadership and delegation skills may be trending now, but they’re not exactly new: Companies have always needed effective leadership skills. Your audience must learn how delegation will deliver the right results for them.

Today’s leaders need a host of expertise in their tool chest.

In this part of the course, use the content to share that delegation is a significant factor for leadership success.

And, while the “I can do it all” isn’t being removed from leadership settings, it certainly isn’t the smart option anymore.

As for the impact of this part of the training course?

Well, the sheer volume of possible situations your audience may encounter and may require these new skills is staggering. The first step to bringing this home to your audience is to dig deeper, than general leadership skills and management-speak, and focus on exploring what delegation is.

The benefits of delegation – While there will always be a sense of agreement from your audience on the need to delegate, you must examine the benefits of delegation skills to the leader. If a leader isn’t going to cut it in terms of these skills, use the content to help your audience consider the difference between delegation skills and control.

By following the content provided, you will effectively be meeting the needs of your audience and delivering value for them. We suggest that to align your personal experiences with the material to provide additional structure. Whether it’s just a simple series of observations, exciting tales, or detailed industry-specific experiences, this storytelling will play a significant role in their learning.

Leadership theories – Whether your audience is looking for a little bit more practical examples, or they want you to show them the way, nearly everyone attending your course will want to be a great leader. The best practice here and the eternal question is, are leaders born or made?

The answer in many illustrates the leadership theories required and the content that you’ll need to share with your audience. For best results, use the content to outline the qualities or traits approach. Do note that you don’t need an extensive background in leadership theories, either. A solid introduction tends to stick better with an audience than overwhelming them with detail.

In basic terms, use the content to highlight real-life discussions on whether leaders are born or made. This inclusion of these theories will ensure that your audience will start talking about leadership, and it will also help to get everyone engaged.

The next step is to share relevant leadership theories and to make sure your audience understands personality traits and functional or group approaches. As simple as it sounds, this part of the course will open up real opportunities for your audience to offer personal insights or even to share their weaknesses or strengths. Ask for contributions, and you’ll get a wealth of opportunities to generate further learning.

Functions and responsibilities of leadership – Your audience can’t move ahead by staying in their comfort zones. Remember that every step for your audience will also link to the learning objectives. As a result, if what you’re presenting does not meet the expectations of your audience in some way, it can be hard for them to engage. This lack of engagement may, in turn, impact their capacity to benefit from the content.

That’s where structure comes in. Help your audience to let go of some preconceptions and expose them to a collection of best practices. And, nothing demonstrates this more than this part of the training materials.

Your audience is looking to learn so you can use the content to focus on the concept of action-centered leadership. Think about what’s essential, so get your course participants excited about the benefits of this type of leadership. While these are logical aspects, they will let you outline tasks, teams, and individual functions. Given all these considerations, you will then be able to discuss leadership categories and styles.

During this section, we suggest that you share your perspectives on leadership. It will make the content more meaningful to your audience.

And, to put it simply, if you show you care, then your audience will also get the maximum benefit from the content presented. On top of that, your approach will embed the materials already presented and offer considerable opportunities for learning.

The relationship between leadership and delegation skills – The benefits of delegation skills are well supported. Even a leader can’t make delegate effectively right now; there; there are always plenty of opportunities for them to practice and hone their skills safely. From simple tasks to more sensitive ones, we all can make our mark within leadership arenas if we exhibit these skills.

There’s something incredibly crucial to sharing content on the path-goal theory, accountability, and authority with existing leaders and those seeking to develop these skills and foster their career. When you share the content provided, and your audience begins to relate to what they’re hearing, you should see a noticeable shift in their learning and participation.

What to delegate – Whether your audience is here to start their leadership journey or to gather tips for their current roles, they’re most likely not sure how to delegate effectively. It is worth explaining early on how it’s fundamental human nature for many of us to hold on to activities or tasks.

Why?

Well, most likely, because we believe that “we can do it better ourselves” or maybe even that “we are subconsciously afraid of failure.”

These statements perfectly sum up the focus of this section.

The critical thing to remember is that training can help leaders to develop these skills. Use the content to uncover why managers don’t transfer and share why managers should delegate.

A delegation process – Learning to delegate isn’t always about saying, “do this or do that.” Sometimes, successfully delegating a task or activity will simply help make a process more achievable. We’ve learned that most people won’t know exactly how to delegate effectively. It usually takes some experience or training.

We’ve also experienced many leaders that believe that they are excellent at delegating tasks yet are quite aware that they hold on to the real control. This conflict is not delegation. And it highlights the need to work closely with your audience during this part of the course.

Use the content to establish what is essential for them and then provide a solution; you’ve hit the nail on the head. To illustrate, some people will respond to concepts, others to tips and tricks, others to a set of steps to follow. This way of learning is valid for all audiences. Once you acknowledge this, you can use the content to present one of the most straightforward delegation processes. Your audience can easily apply this process to face any delegation situation.
