As team working becomes more complex, all team members need to be more adaptable and increasingly multi-skilled. The smooth-running of the team requires that you know about the skills colleagues have to offer, and when and how to pull on these qualities and competencies.
As delegator you also need to be clear about your own particular responsibilities, and your own personal effectiveness.
In this interactive The Language of Leadership: finding your own voice programme module you will learn about how to delegate effectively – and how to avoid some delegation pitfalls.
