Training Resource – Introducing Effective Delegation #11
Previously, in the session, the participants were preparing for a practice session on how to delegate effectively (see it here). This part of the session will focus on the first part of the practice session.
PRACTICE SESSION ON DELEGATING EFFECTIVELY
Now that the participants have finished preparing, let them know that you are now going to start the practice session.
To make it easier for the participants acting as Denzel and Amal, everybody else will put off their cameras apart from the three of you involved in the practice.
Remind the observers to take down notes. They can write down the notes in the section of their workbooks titled – OBSERVERS NOTES.
The practice session should take no more than 15-minutes.
After the practice let everyone put their cameras back on and ask for feedback in the following order:
- Ask the person acting as Denzel:
- How did the delegation session go?
- What worked well for you?
- What can I improve?
- Are you clear about the task you need to do?
- Ask the person acting as Amal:
- How did the delegation session go?
- What worked well for you?
- What can I improve?
- Are you clear about the task you need to do?
Then ask the observers to give their feedback by first talking about what went well and then what can be improved.
Next, tell them that there is going to be another practice session for what happens after delegation. Remind them that delegation does not end after the task has been delegated and Danielle will need to check-in with Denzel and Amal about how the task is going. Just like the previous practice session, let them know that in their workbooks are two sections titled – DENZEL GROUP – THE CHECK-IN and – AMAL GROUP – THE CHECK-IN.


Put them back into their small groups using the ‘breakout rooms’ feature and let them prepare for the next practice session using the relevant information in their workbooks for each group. Give them 7-minutes for the preparation.
The facilitator acting as Danielle should use the notes in the box below to prepare for the practice session.

In the next part of the session, the participants will get involved in the ‘after delegation’ practice session.
