Join the Canadian Chapter of ACHE and the University Health Network on March 21 for an interactive education session based on bestselling book and award-winning podcast.
About this Event
The program will focus on two critical Manager Tools management tool basics: one on ones and delegation.
One on Ones are the core of the Effective Manager toolset. All highly effective managers are known for having exceptional relationships with their staff, but few managers know how to achieve this. One on Ones are pre-scheduled, 30-minute weekly meetings between every manager and each of their direct reports. During the training, participants will learn why, where, when and how to conduct One on Ones and effective ways to brief and get buy in from their teams on the use of these meetings.
Delegation is a tool to improve individual and team performance and organizational effectiveness. It is simple to do but rarely used effectively. Pushing work down helps to develop teams and future leaders and frees up manager time for executive thinking and strategic activities. Effective delegation assigns responsibility, provides authority and requires accountability. This session will review the 6 steps to follow when devising a delegation plan, including a checklist to analyze the job, decide what to delegate, select the right person, plan the delegation, make the delegation and crucially, follow-up.
The 3 hour Manager Tools seminar will be followed by an interactive panel of ACHE leaders speaking on their experience with delegation and one-on-ones.
