Many lawyers have not mastered effective delegation techniques probably because nobody ever taught them the basic skills. They are missing the opportunity to leverage their own talents by delegating projects and tasks to other lawyers, legal professionals, and strong support staff. Besides, lawyers are bound by MRPC 5.1 and 5.3 relating to ethical responsibilities in the supervisory context. Workplace outcomes are no doubt adversely affected when delegations go astray. Lawyers and staff at all levels will benefit from the techniques explored in this program. Special tips will be provided for micromanagers, procrastinators, and their victims.

Those attending this session will learn:

Fundamentals of effective delegation
Strategies to overcome the syndrome of “delegation reluctance”
How to identify and modify typical unproductive delegation behaviors
