The Power of Strategic Delegation and Focus
(saying "no")
We can’t be successful if we try to be all things to all people. An important part of leadership is learning to define your specific areas of impact—aligned with your skills and unique opportunities. In this interactive course, you’ll learn to say “no” to that which won’t further your goals and delegate effectively to your team—allowing you to focus on your highest priorities.
Learning Objectives:
- Determine the benefits of strategic delegation and focus
- Learn and practice tips and tools for defining your desired impact, delegating and saying “no”
- Network and build community with other Public Works women
