IN-PERSON SESSION – UMKC Bloch Executive Hall, 5108 Cherry Street, Kansas City, Missouri
As a leader, your team’s performance reflects your leadership abilities. Successful leaders drive their teams to achieve individual and collective goals by delegating tasks based on their team’s skillsets, motivation, and potential. However, delegating and setting expectations can be challenging.
Do any of these sound familiar?
“It will take me longer to delegate this task than to do it myself.”
“I’m not sure I trust that my team is capable enough to succeed at the task.”
“Setting expectations for my team feels restrictive,”
“I’m not sure what to delegate or how to do it.”
“I’m afraid my employees might make mistakes that will reflect poorly on me or the team.”
Overcoming these barriers is essential to becoming a successful leader. During this session we will identify strategies that are helpful for delegating tasks and setting expectations for your team.
