Effective delegation without stress

Training Theme

This 20-minute training helps managers overcome their barriers to effective delegation. It addresses the concept of "delegation in reverse" where an employee transfers responsibilities to the manager, and explores the psychological obstacles to delegation through the analysis of "drivers" (behavior patterns). Participants discover practical strategies for effective delegation, understand their own resistances through self-diagnosis, and learn how to avoid overload by refusing "monkeys" (unduly transferred responsibilities). The training combines theory, practical cases and concrete tools to transform delegation into mastered managerial skills.
