CGIA Workshop – Effective Delegation

CGIA will be hosting an upcoming workshop – Effective Delegation, on Monday June 17th (12pm – 1:30pm, Pacific).

Effective delegation skills are key to managing one’s workload. Instead of handing a project over to someone and then forgetting about it, achieve good delegation results with the right preparation, feedback, and encouragement. Delegating not only frees up the group leader to focus on other objectives, it is also motivates team members to develop key skills and promotes trust by sharing crucial tasks and responsibilities.
