Delegating to Develop - Adaptive Leadership for Managers

You'll apply Directing, Coaching, Supporting, and Delegating in everyday management moments, matching the right amount of direction and support to each person's development level. You'll practice giving a novice structure, coaching a partly-skilled report, re-engaging a disengaged expert, and flexing your style as people grow.

You'll turn delegation into a deliberate tool for delivering work and developing people. You'll select suitable tasks and owners, balance challenge with readiness, set up clear delegation agreements, and monitor progress without dumping, abdicating, or micromanaging.

You’ll use developmental coaching to draw out solutions and build ownership. Practice GROW conversations, adapt your direction to task-specific competence and commitment, and reassess as evidence changes. In the capstone, lead a team task by task and defend your differentiated plan under pressure.
