13 Delegation courses in Birmingham

Everyone has what it takes to become an effective leader, but first you must learn the skills needed to succeed in a position of responsibility. Our program will help people nurture the talent within and allow managers to lead confidently. Sometimes, working longer hours isn’t the right approach, as you risk burning out and abandoning the task at hand. Instead, effective leadership teaches you how to organise your workload, practice better time management and learn the power of delegation.

Agile working is an approach that the NHS supports. It demands new ways of working and thinking. Agile means that work is now seen as an activity, not a place. People are the organisation. The way we communicate has to change. The way we manage has to change. This workshop will let you reflect on what works for you now and where you may need to adapt. You may need to trust and value your team more than ever, but when they aren't in front of you in the office, you will need to question your beliefs. The workshop will help you: * Understand what Agile Working is all about * Reflect on your management style * Recognise the new ways of managing agile workers * Choose the right communication methods * Understand culture and mindset * Identify different ways of measuring performance * Focus on innovation and not bureaucracy * Manage more effectively This workshop has been designed to support you in effectively managing an agile team. You will need to be open to questioning your existing techniques and be open and responsive to change. 1 WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? * What is Agile working? * What are your personal management concerns? * How to make it work * Time / location / role / source 2 YOUR ROLE AS AN AGILE MANAGER * Your style * Your team's individual preferences * Learning to let go * Your management style self assessment 3 THE 3 AREAS OF FOCUS * Trust * Delegation * Empowerment 4 COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY * New ways of communicating * Managing expectations * What are you measuring? 5 YOUR PERSONAL ACTION PLAN * What are you going to do differently?
