What is the aim of this course?
If you want to advance in your career and get promoted you have to learn how to efficiently delegate work to other people. It is not an easy skill to master, but you also do not have to be born with a special talent. With a proper approach, you can delegate any work efficiently. Luckily, there are a lot of interesting management productivity hacks that will help you delegate work efficiently to other people. In this course, I will teach how to delegate efficiently work to other people and still not jeopardize the quality of the work.
In the course you will learn the following things:
How to delegate efficiently
When to use different types of delegation
How NOT to do things you are not supposed to do
How to make sure that the team works efficiently
This course is based on my 15 years of experience as a consultant in top consulting firms and as a Board Member responsible for strategy, performance improvement, and turn-arounds in the biggest firms from Retail, FMCG, SMG, B2B, and services sectors that I worked for. I have carried out or supervised over 100 different consulting projects in different industries that generated in total, 2 billion of additional EBITDA. On the basis of what you will find in this course, I have trained in person over 100 consultants, business analysts, and managers who now are Partners in PE and VC funds, Investment Directors and Business Analysts in PE and VC, Operational Directors, COO, CRO, CEO, Directors in Consulting Companies, Board Members, etc. On top of that my courses on Udemy were already taken by more than 181 000 students including people working in EY, Walmart, Booz Allen Hamilton, Adidas, Naspers, Alvarez & Marsal, PwC, Dell, Walgreens, Orange, and many others.
I teach through case studies, so you will have a lot of lectures showing examples of analyses, and tools that we use. To every lecture, you will find attached (in additional resources) the Excels as well as additional presentations, and materials shown in the lectures so as a part of this course you will also get a library of ready-made analyses that can, with certain modifications, be applied by you or your team in your work.
Why have I decided to create this course?
In most cases when you become a project manager or a manager you will have little experience with delegating tasks to other people. The person that has promoted you will quite often not provide you with a practical approach to delegation, so you will be on your own to figure out how to do it in practice. This may lead to huge frustration during your first year as a manager.
Therefore, I have decided to create this course that will help you learn how to delegate in practice. The course will give you tips and hints on how to approach delegation that will make your life during your first year as a manager much easier. Thanks to this course, you will know what you should delegate, how, and to whom. On top of that, I will show you how to make sure that the team that you are managing remains extremely efficient.
To sum it up, I believe that if you want to become a good manager you have to know how to delegate work efficiently. That is why I highly recommend this course to first-time Project Managers and Managers. The course will help you become an expert in delegating on the level of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and other top consulting firms.
