Testimonials
The course has helped me to understand that there are lots of different types of people but you need a good mix to be an effective team and to get the best results.
A key learning for me was that delegation is as much about the development of others as it is removing an action from my list. I now think of delegation as an opportunity for my team to develop and try new things. The more I do it, the more effective it is. Delegation is now one of my key management tools.
