Course overview
Often, your managers will come across team members they think would make great leaders. When they do, it can be tempting to just start giving those individuals more important responsibilities, because they know they can handle it. But unless they consider their confidence or provide the right support, those team members could become overwhelmed instead of developing solid leadership skills.
Giving someone the confidence to lead is all about empowerment. It involves setting tasks in the right way and making future leaders accountable for their work and results. Empowerment isn’t just important for shaping prospective leaders; your managers will find plenty of other ways it benefits all team members and the business itself, such as greater job satisfaction and increased retention.
This course was created to be used as practice for the skills the managers have learned in our course ‘Delegation and Empowerment’.
