Course Description

Effective delegation is one of the most valuable skills you can master. It reduces your workload and develops employee skills. Delegating prepares employees who work for you to be able to handle your responsibilities and simultaneously allows you to advance to other career opportunities within your organization.

Delegation is also often one of the hardest skills for a manager to master. However, the skill can be learned. This one-day workshop will explore many of the facets of delegation, including when to delegate and who to delegate to. We will also go through the delegation process step by step to see where the pitfalls lie and what we can do about getting around them.

This course will teach participants how to:
  • Clearly identify how delegation fits into their job and how it can make them more successful.
  • Identify different ways of delegating tasks.
  • Use an eight-step process for effective delegation.
  • Give better instructions for better delegation results.
  • Ask better questions and listen more effectively.
  • Recognize common delegation pitfalls and how to avoid them.
  • Test their delegation skills.
Introduction and Course Overview

You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning objectives.

Why Delegate

To begin, participants will explore the advantages and disadvantages of delegation in small groups.

What is Delegation

Next, participants will learn about the four basic steps to delegation and the different degrees of delegation.

Pre-Assignment Review

As a pre-assignment, participants were asked to complete a case study. During this session, you will discuss the answers.

Picking the Right Person

This session will give participants four tools to help them determine who to choose for what task.

The Delegation Meeting

Next, we will explore an eight-step process that participants can follow to ensure they cover all the bases when delegating.

Giving Instructions

Participants will learn how to give better instructions, and then they will practice giving and receiving instructions through a group activity.

Communication Skills

One way to help employees accept your delegation is through effective communications. This session will look at three components of communication skills: listening, asking questions, and probing.

Monitoring Delegation

Excellent instructor and it was a smaller group of students so the instructor really tailored it to the students attending the course.

We had an excellent instructor! She was very knowledgeable and would take the extra time to assist you if you needed extra instruction.

I enjoyed the Access 2010 course. the instructor was very knowledgeable and presented the topic well. The only negative aspect was that no written training materials were offered until the course was completed. Would have liked to be able to make notes as we went along for future reference.

The course was initially scheduled for 2 days but due to instructor availability it was shortened to one day. I am very computer literate, work full time in an office, and go to business school in the evenings and it was a little tough to learn everything in one day because there was no time for practice. Yes it was useful to find out what the program is capable of, but since it was shortened there was no time for individual practicing or trying things out on your own. Next time the class would be much better suited for the initial 2 day class.

All in all, this training was not that great. The first part moved very slowly, and then toward the end, the instructor plowed through to get finished. Possibly the most incredible part was that the course taught how to create forms, but not how to deploy or use them. The instructor said for that, participants would have to take the follow up course. What use is it to create forms if they can't be used? No handouts at all? Other courses I've taken provide full books with step by step coverage of everything done in the classroom. It's impossible to go back and review things.

My most significant feedback is that the course was advertised as Working with Data using SQL for the 'non-database administrator'. Of the 10 course modules, nearly half were presented by the instructor as tasks that would be completed by a database administrator. While it is helpful to have a general understanding of a database administrators interaction with SQL, far too much of the course content was aimed at the database administrator level. Otherwise, use of technology for remote teaching and the instructor himself were both excellent.

The one and only issue I had was with parking, unexpectedly having to pay and not having enough cash for this as well as there not being very much parking. It made me late for the class, even though I actually arrived there early!

This level of Excel should not be considered as advanced level. It is rather biginner level. I was expecting to learn more. 95% of the content I already knew.

A good seminar but quite a lot of info to take in during a one-day course for someone who hasn't done Word before. A bit overwhelming! Perhaps a two-day course would work better so could have time to actually practice what we're being taught. A little hard to see the projector from the back. Otherwise, very useful.

I signed up at one facility in Ottawa and it got switched to a different training facility location in Hull, Quebec. There were several emails confirming the course, however, I just happen to notice one email stating the new location. LastMinuteTraining was good to try to look into for me. In the end, the training provider provided me with taxi chits and it all worked out. I was not aware that the training provider had 2 locations and would switch the location at the last minute. I was upset because I do not know the bus system in Hull, Quebec.

I enjoyed the course thoroughly and learned as much as I could in a 3 hour class, however, I think I would have preferred a longer class as we were a bit rushed going through the material.

The course was 3 hours long becasue there was only the 2 of us in the office completing this course. 3 hours is very short to learn Outlook. More time is required.

Handouts were in pdf however, the screens were not big enough to open two files (handout and Project file) together and we had to toggle a lot. It was very annoying. Either give paper handouts or much bigger screens or two screens per student.

MY BIGGEST BEEF IS THAT THE BOOK WAS VERSION 2010 AND THE SOFTWARE WAS 2007, WE MISSED A LOT OF WHAT 2010 COULD DO BECAUSE OF OLD SOFTWARE INSTALLED ON THE SERVER, THE INSTRUCTOR HAD SOME PROBLEMS NAVIGATING THROUGH THIS.

This two-day training was jam-packed with information, with a good balance between demonstrations and exercises to verify that the students understood the subject matter. I do not believe that the instructor could have used the time more efficiently then he did.

Project 2010 was a brand new course, as such there were a few things that the instructor could not find (in the new "ribbon" layout). He did spend extra time during his breaks to find what he couldn't before, then showed them to the class once we all returned. Overall, this was a very useful and enjoyable training course.

I took a course that was remote and I don't think that I would take a remote course again. The instructor didn't really make himself available for questions. Even when their was questions he would take them offline if they took more then 5 minutes to answer. Never brought the results back to the group. Never went over the labs just lectured in between. Didn't bother to learn anyone's name. I think the experience would be better if each user in the class had a headset and could speak to the instructor instead of it being a conference call.

The course was held via remote. The course it self was alright, all content was directly from the book. The teacher was in another time zone and he wanted to start the course before my location even opened. I told him that, he did it anyways. So I was out of sync the whole time. On the last day lunch was at 10 am! The instructor said he would watch screens to see when we got stuck. Not once did that happen. He couldnt even troubleshoot the labs. He only really talked to the student in the room, pretty much said nothing to rest of us. He even took personal calls!

Alot of material to cover in the course. I would recommend that this be a 2-day course. Re. course content - should contain more examples to work on. Before moving to another section in the course the Instructor should summarize what was covered (i.e. go through the steps required to complete each task). Task and steps should be given on a handout for future reference.

It is great to have access to the online training manuals, but it would be nice to have some handouts for reference. Not everyone has time to do the online training or to consult the manuals. The training location is very convenient to the highway. Lyse Brooks is an amazing instructor. She is extremely knowledgeable and patient. She spent time with each participant helping each person with their individual needs. She gave us a hands-on exercise that allowed us time to practice and learn. The instructor at the Intermediate Word course (same training facility) did not provide the same high level of training.

The course is good for a basic overview of many advanced Excel features. The instructor and facilities were good. However, some of the items listed on the syllabus (new features in Excel 2010) were NOT covered and it wasn't due to a lack of time. I came to find out that the instructor had not planned to cover them at all. This was very disappointing, especially since we took very look breaks (easily almost 2 hours of combined break time in a class that went from 9-4) so there was ample time to cover the topics.

It was unfortunate that the local instructor was not available and I had to call in remotely to a class in Toronto. I did have the instructor screen available and I liked that. The first part of the course was helpful as the instructor moved through the functionality of MS Project and we could follow along on our own screen. I learned a lot about functionality with this instructor led demonstration, and the ability to follow along on my computer was great! I did find that after the first demonstration, a lot of time was spent working independantly, with the instructor available for questions. I thought there should have been more instructor led demonstration, perhaps one on our own, followed by another instructor led example. I didn't like spending well over 50% of the course time practicing on my own. If this is how all classes are run, I would not take another one, nor recommend this class.
