Delegation and Emotional Intelligence: Working with Your Team

The foundation of supervision is proper and appropriate delegation, and that is often the challenge in most supervisory relationships.  Although delegation is often viewed as only relevant in the supervisor’s realm, issues related to emotional intelligence, position match and fit as well staff expectations often drive successful delegation or impede progress. In this 90 minute workshop we will examine those key elements; emotional intelligence, delegation and supervision.  Focusing on the impact of all three on teamwork and project or program success is necessary for productive supervision.
