Management Report |
| …difficult
for them to delegate work to employees who are already busy because they feel
that it is probably easier for them to do it themselves rather than imposing on
them. …difficult for them to say "No" when asked to take on additional
responsibility. Usually results in their becoming over committed, which then leads
to longer and longer hours. | | |

| | In
the management training, Patricia had the opportunity to learn the skills of effective
management, such as delegation. Having developed a specific delegation plan, Patricia
discovered how to begin to use the resources of her team. |
| 6
months later | | After
her success in delegating some simple tasks to others, Patricia has expanded her
delegation to some significant time consuming activities. This has freed her to
put more time into planning and marketing. | |
12
months later | | Patricia's
team has become remarkably productive. Her people enjoy the opportunities for
learning and job growth that her delegation has created. She is a popular manager,
respected by her superiors, her peers , and her employees. | |
