      Description

*Three Part Series - Each session will be an hour long from 9:00 a.m. - 
10:00 a.m.*

May 4, 2009 - Session I: Delegating 101
May 11, 2009 - Session II: Delegation – Taking It To the Next Level
May 18, 2009 - Session III: Organizational skills – up close and personal!

You know you should. You wish you could. But delegation has never been 
your strong suit – and neither has the fine art of being organized. But 
both of these topics are areas you can improve in – it just takes 
knowing yourself, knowing your employees, and knowing how to put that 
knowledge to work for you!

In What to Do, What to Do?, you’ll learn specific tips to help you 
delegate more effectively – not just more – and you’ll also discover why 
doing so is important to your success as a supervisor. We’ll uncover why 
we aren’t better at it in the first place, along with some important 
questions to consider when you finally make that leap to delegating on a 
consistent basis. Then to help us find what it is we would like to 
delegate ?, we’ll discuss some fundamental organizational skills that 
will help you make sure you aren’t just delegating whatever is on the 
top of the stack!

In Session I, Delegating 101, we’ll start with a look at why delegation 
is more important than ever for you as a supervisor. We’ll get a glimpse 
of what is consuming your time each day – and how to decide which of 
those tasks are “delegation-ready.” We’ll also look at tasks you’ve 
already delegated to determine if they’ve been delegated for the right 
reason – or just to reduce the slushpile (!). In the process, we’ll take 
a sneak peak at some of the reasons we haven’t been delegating – and why 
we don’t really want to. Our mission (should we choose to accept it!), 
will be to step back and look at what we’ve been doing – what’s been 
working well in the realm of delegating and where might we be able to 
improve?

In Session II, Delegation – Taking It To the Next Level, we’ll look at 9 
specific aspects of a task we need to look at when we consider 
delegating to our staff, details that will not only help us decide 
whether the job should be delegated, but also to whom? We’ll touch on 
how our personalities affect whether or not we are willing to let go of 
some of our work, as well as how our employees’ personalities should 
influence to whom we assign what task, project, or responsibility. 
You’ll come away from this session with a checklist of key points to 
consider when matching the right employee to the work you want done, as 
well as a bird’s eye view of the details that will ensure your success 
when delegating.

Now that we have delegated some tasks and duties, we’re free to get 
ourselves organized. In Session III of this series, we’ll take a look at 
your organizational skills – up close and personal! We’ll find out why 
you organize – or don’t organize – the way you do. Once we’ve figured 
that out, we’ll develop a list of ways to become more organized and – 
even more important – stay that way. You may even feel a sense of relief 
when you realize we don’t have to organize the way they do to be 
successful at it! Hurray!
