Delegation and Prioritization: Letting Go/Building Leaders
Date: November 2, 2022; 1:00 pm – 2:00pm EDT
Instructor: Michele Chierici
“When you want something done well, ask a busy person” is a commonly known expression. But even the most talented and organized people have limited time and capacity and, at some point, need support. How does one determine when to delegate and to whom? This one-hour course will talk about how to balance workload for maximum effectiveness, how to develop your employees to “build a bench” of future leaders, and how to ensure that you continue to produce quality results.
Organizational Accountability
Date: November 9, 2022; 1:00 pm – 2:00pm EDT
Instructor: Supreet Bains-Sharma
Accountability is essential in the workplace as we continue to transition toward defining a new normal. Building a culture of ownership and accountability fosters positivity, productivity, employee engagement, and overall well-being. It aligns your team around shared objectives, opens feedback loops, and encourages creative problem-solving. The result is that your company will be better equipped to manage expectations and empower others for greater personal and professional growth.
