Successful delegation without authority to issue instructions

Gaining time for the essentials

This training is held in German.
Are you part of a team yourself? Then you know the difficulties all too well: how do you delegate when there is no hierarchical power or the organization is structured in networks in which people can be convinced and not obliged? In this training , you will first get to know yourself better. And then how to successfully delegate tasks, say "no" from time to time and thus take the pressure off yourself, keep projects running and thus organize your day-to-day work effectively. When you delegate successfully, you have more freedom, which you need for the essential tasks by which you are ultimately measured.
