Tell, Sell, Consult, Join, or Delegate

Working with a group of managers weekly for much of the past year, we regrouped this fall, first as a team and then around the desired management development content. In small groups, the participants gave me feedback about what had been important to them from earlier sessions. Almost every group mentioned delegation. Specifically, they liked the model of delegation that I had given them.
