Leadership And Delegation

Many new managers and leaders have the skills they need to delegate to others but often hang on to the responsibility for specific tasks out of some misguided notion that delegation in leadership would weaken their leadership position in some fashion.

This training will provide key delegation in leadership skills that are essential for the success of managers and leaders.

This course is organized around six critical sections:

First, the relationship between leadership and delegation; Second, the benefits of delegation; Third, leadership theories; Fourth, functions and responsibilities of leadership; Fifth, the relationship between leadership and delegation skills; and Sixth, the delegation process.

Before we move on to discussing the training, we need to be clear about what we mean when we talk about delegation in leadership.

Delegation is basically the transfer of responsibility for specific tasks from one person to another.

When leaders master these skills their success will follow. To illustrate, a leader should delegate tasks so as to:

• Increase involvement by their team.
• Increase responsibility and ownership.
• Identify suitable candidates for future roles.
• Ensure specialist knowledge is employed where necessary.
• Increase group and organizational effectiveness.

Learning Objectives

• Understand the main approaches to leadership.
• Identify three crucial key terms (e.g., accountability, authority, responsibility).
• Delegate more.

Course Overview

These are the 6 key sections in this training.

1. The relationship between leadership and delegation
Are leaders able to delegate? In team situations, on everyday activities, or in ever more complex projects, does the lack of delegation in leadership pose a threat to a team or a company?

This introductory part of the training will:

• Discuss how delegation will deliver results.
• Share that delegation is a significant factor for leadership success.
• Dig deeper, than general leadership skills and management-speak, to focus on exploring what delegation actually is.

2. The benefits of delegation
At its simplest effective delegation is the passing of authority to another person to carry out specific activities. This transfer of authority is usually between a manager to another person. To expand on this further, this training will highlight delegation in leadership and the difference between delegation skills and control.

3. Leadership theories
Today’s organizations are characterized by increasingly more complex and diverse workforces and a greater need for effective delegation in leadership. These environments require leaders that can operate at a higher level and who possess leadership styles that meet the demands placed upon these leaders. Now, as the future of delegation in leadership comes into a new focus, mastery of more leadership skills is required.

To meet this need, this section of the training will:

• Outline the qualities and traits approach to leadership.
• Explore whether leaders are born or made.
• Share relevant leadership theories.
• Discuss personality traits, functional and group approaches.

4. Functions and responsibilities of leadership
Modern organizations are facing important dilemmas in many aspects of how their leaders operate. Over the past decades, a new image of delegation in leadership has emerged that changes how we see the traditional functions and responsibilities of leaders.

This section of the training will:

• Clarity leadership misconceptions.
• Highlight leadership best practices.
• Focus on action-centered leadership.

5. The relationship between leadership and delegation skills
Leading a business needs a dynamic set of leadership skills. Having the ability to master delegation in leadership gives leaders a distinct advantage in their role. Effective delegation in leadership enables the delegation of duties and even the delegation of responsibility while managing their relationships with their team members.

This section of the training will:

• Explore the path-goal theory.
• Discuss accountability and authority.
• Share why managers should delegate.

The training also explores what tasks a leader should or should not delegate. For example, leaders should delegate:

• Routine jobs.
• Tasks that others can do as well or better than you.
• Aspects that will challenge and develop staff.

Whereas, leaders should not delegate:

• Confidential tasks.
• Staff appraisals.
• Disciplinary matters.
• Giving rewards.
• Technical tasks.
• If you alone have the skill.

The training also explores the main reasons why leaders don’t delegate tasks. To illustrate:

• Fear of losing control.
• Doubt that others may do a better job.
• Perception that it takes too long.
• Lack of confidence in staff.

6. The delegation process
Delegation in leadership isn’t always about saying, “do this” or “do that”. Often, leaders need to learn how to delegate effectively

This section provides a simple solution to delegation in leadership and presents delegation as a practical time management tool.

As someone who’s been involved in training for more than twenty years, I’ve never known a resource that’s as consistently valuable as Oak. I’m always amazed at their willingness to provide purchasers of their complete range of presentations regular updates and new training packages at no additional cost. That makes my purchase become more valuable all the time. And their speed in responding to questions is phenomenal. One of the sessions I often provide is a Training the Trainers workshop. In it, the very first resource I encourage people to purchase is the library of resources from Oak. These packages have made my job infinitely easier, and I recommend them to anyone who’s looking for the highest quality in training materials. Jeffrey L. Buller, Senior Partner at ATLAS Leadership Training

“During the early days of HRD Gateway, a 40,000-member international NGO dedicated to excellence in HRD/HRM, I got to know Des Fitzgerald (Oak Innovation) and his 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 clients requirements. The process saved me much 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." GK Lim President, HRD Gateway International

I've developed an alliance with Oak -- a company that has developed a wide assortment of training "modules" that you can download right now. When you download a module you own it forever and have permission to edit it, customize it (logos, etc.) and deliver the module as many times as you like. You receive a Word document, PDF, PowerPoint and comprehensive participant manual and your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back. The modules are designed for trainers, coaches and consultants looking to increase the range of products and services they can offer their clients. Oak content is also ideal for managers and employees looking to extend their knowledge of organizational, management and employee titles.
