Delegating is hard. It's even harder when we keep anchoring ourselves to old ideas of what management is and what skills requires, without realizing how different is the job of a manager. And then, we become managers ourselves. One of the hurdles that every manager has to overcome at some point in their career, often very early, is the ability to delegate and manage this delegation. This talk will look into the various delegation issues, and how we can revise the idea of management in a new light to acquire new tools to succeed.
Talk done at WEBdeLDN.

When we negate positive feedback, we can
project lower confidence, which can â
ironically â make it harder for people to give
us the constructive feedback we need.
