Delegation and Accountability
The ability to delegate tasks and responsibilities to employees and hold them accountable for results is central to any leadership role. In both the in-person and virtual versions of this program, learners will examine practical, thoughtful approaches that promote effectiveness in both of these elements of managing performance.
