Target Audience: All staff (Academic and Professional Services) with or taking on management/leadership responsibilities.

Effective delegation is not simply about handing over a task – it is a process that involves trust, communication, and coordination.

Learning to delegate effectively is an essential skill for managers. Delegating empowers your team, builds trust, assists with professional development by providing learning opportunities, and gives room for new insights. And for leaders, it helps you learn how to identify who is best suited to tackle tasks or projects.

This workshop explores the benefits of effective delegation and different approaches to assigning tasks to others. Participants will also benefit from gaining insights from colleagues across the University.

Learning Outcomes:

The benefits and barriers of delegation
Different approaches to delegating tasks
Ways that you can apply these approaches within your team to improve team performance.

Late cancellations that leave places empty have considerable cost implications for the University and take away the opportunity for other staff members who might wish to attend. Given this, a late cancellation fee of £50 will be charged to your School or Division if you cancel your booking within three days of the course start date. Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel your place by emailing od@sussex.ac.uk.

Exceptions may be made for illness, evidenced by your line manager or doctor's note, or a family emergency. We are happy for you to substitute your place if you notify us before the course commences.

Please let us know as soon as possible if you have any specific requirements regarding this staff development activity (e.g., hearing/visual impairment) so that we can do our very best to accommodate your needs.

Your opinion matters! You will be asked to complete a short feedback form either at the end of the session or after the session. We appreciate you taking the time to do this, as your feedback helps us to know what works and what doesn’t, allowing us to create a better and more relevant learning experience for everyone.
