Delegation Skills Training - Geelong

You know that feeling when you're drowning in work, staying back late every night, while your team seems to have plenty of downtime? You're not alone. Most managers I work with tell me they'd rather just do things themselves because "it's quicker" or "no one does it quite right." Sound familiar? The problem isn't that you don't have good people – it's that delegation is actually a skill, and most of us were never taught how to do it properly.

I've been training managers for over fifteen years, and I've seen the same pattern repeatedly. Smart, capable leaders burning themselves out because they're trying to be the superhero of their team. Meanwhile, their staff feel underutilised and frustrated because they're not given meaningful work. It's a lose-lose situation that's completely avoidable once you learn how to delegate effectively.

Here's what's different about this training – we're not going to give you a textbook approach that sounds great in theory but falls apart in practice. Instead, we'll work through real scenarios you face every day. Like when you need to delegate to someone who's already busy, or when the task is genuinely complex and you're worried about quality. We'll cover how to hand over work without micromanaging (the kiss of death for delegation), how to set clear expectations that actually mean something, and how to follow up without being that annoying boss who checks in every five minutes.

One thing that surprises people is how much time management improves when you delegate properly. You'll suddenly find hours in your week you didn't know existed. Plus, your team becomes more engaged and capable – which means better results for everyone and less pressure on you to be everywhere at once.

What You'll Learn:
- How to identify what should and shouldn't be delegated (there's more nuance here than you think)
- The step-by-step process for handing over tasks without setting everyone up for failure
- How to give clear instructions that people actually understand and can act on
- When and how to check in on progress without becoming a micromanager
- How to handle it when delegation goes wrong (because it sometimes will)
- Building confidence in both yourself and your team members
- Creating systems that make future delegation automatic and effortless

The Bottom Line:
You'll leave this session with practical tools you can use immediately and the confidence to start delegating properly. Most participants tell me they get back 5-10 hours per week within the first month, and their teams are happier and more productive. It's not about working harder – it's about working smarter and trusting your people to step up when given the chance. Stop being the bottleneck in your own team and start leading the way you know you should be. Your future self (and your team) will thank you for making this investment in delegation skills training.
