“If you want to do a few small things right, do them yourself. If you want to do great things and make a big impact learn to delegate.”- John C. Maxwell

“When you delegate tasks, you create followers. When you delegate authority, you create leaders.”- Craig Groeschel

Delegation is the assignment of any responsibility and authority to subordinates to carry out specific activities. It is one of the core concepts of management leadership. The person who delegated the work remains accountable for the outcome of the delegated work. Delegation empowers a subordinate to make decisions, i.e. it is a shifting of decision-making authority from one organizational level to a lower one. Delegation, if properly done, is not abdication. In general, delegation is good and can save money and time, help in building skills, and motivate people. On the other hand, poor delegation might cause frustration and confusion to all the involved parties. This training programme enables participants to learn about effective delegation creating a motivating and productive work environment.
