Instructor: Stuart G. Walesh, Ph.D., P.E., F.NSPE, Dist.M.ASCE
Course Length: 1 Hour
Purpose and Background
Delegation means legitimately assigning part of your tasks to someone else. When done well, everyone wins. When done poorly, we experience “bossing,” “dumping,” or wasted effort.
In spite of compelling arguments in support of delegation, professionals often don’t do it or do it poorly. Engineers are especially adept at rationalizing why they cannot delegate or delegate more. This webinar addresses these obstacles to delegation and, more importantly, explains how to delegate effectively to produce win-win results.
Participants in this one-hour webinar receive a handout summarizing the webinar and it includes references to articles, books, e-newsletters, websites, and other self-study materials.
