Background
As with all alw firms, delegation is a seen as an essential skill to help develop more junior lawyers and to deliver work at the correct cost level. But delegating like any skill can be fine tuned and honed. That is excatly what this training aimed to deliver, that is, a fine tuning of the participants existing skills.
Need
To give the participants ideas on how to improve their delegation skills, which could be implemented immediately.
Law firms are best placed to train their lawyers on what to delegate. We add to this by helping lawyers with their skills of how to delegate.
Activity
The activity included designing and delivering virtual training on delegation skills with the desired outcomes including:
- Participants raising their awareness of how to delegate.
- Improving their skills in delegation.
The content of the training was tailored to Vardags. We used examples and scenarios that were relevant to the participants. The workbook, created as a PowerPoint pdf, was tailored to Vardags and sent to participants. It included as much of the work of the participants as possible, embeded in the document.
The workshop was a blend of training and coaching. Training with the introduction of ideas and coaching with developmental feedback as participants discuss their delegation skills.
Outcomes
All participants closed the session with specific actions to implement.
Participant Feedback
“Very useful and worthwhile. Should be taken by all levels of the firm.”
“Very helpful – particularly because it was so interactive.”
