When it comes to the benefits of delegation, it helps to understand the intent of your audience.

What do they want to learn about?

Do you know their pain points?

What do they struggle with?

An easy way to think about delegation is to highlight the difference between delegation skills and control.

Align your personal experiences with the content to provide meaningful examples.

3. Knowing about leadership theories builds delegation skills

Your audience not only wants to learn about leadership and delegation, but they also want practical skills.

Sounds interesting?

Well, it will get your audience thinking differently.

Next, use the content to:

• Help your audience to let go of some preconceptions.

During this section, we suggest that you share your own perspectives on leadership.

What our customers say

During the early days of HRD Gateway, a 40,000-member international NGO dedicated to excellence in HRD/HRM, I got to know Oak Innovation and its courseware. I become one of his early customers. I had clients in Asia who wanted training in certain areas. Instead of searching through the net for material, I logged onto his site, found what I wanted, bought his programs, and customized them to suit my client’s requirements. The process saved me a lot of time. Later, I bought the Oak full set of courses. Over the years, I saw Oak grow from a small operation to what it is today. That takes dedication and focus. Because they allowed me to download updates and new versions of the courseware, I found I did not have to go to another provider for my raw material.
