Delegation in the Workplace - Leading Through Others & Using AI

Introduction

Delegation is more than handing over tasks, it is a leadership behaviour rooted in trust, clarity, and a belief in the potential of others. When it’s done well, it builds capability, accelerates growth, and frees leaders to work on the things that genuinely move the organisation forward. Yet many managers still hold back, not because they don’t want to delegate, but because confidence, clarity, or time get in the way.

In today’s AI-supported workplace, delegation is evolving. Leaders no longer delegate just to people; they can also delegate elements of work to intelligent tools that streamline admin, support thinking, or create first drafts. AI does not replace the human elements of leadership, but it can remove some of the noise that stops managers delegating effectively.

This webinar explores both sides of how to develop a strong delegating leadership style and how to use AI as an enabler, not a crutch.

What You Will Learn

This webinar will cover the following:

• A clear understanding of what effective delegation looks like today
• Including when to delegate, how to set expectations, and how to ensure accountability without micromanaging
• Insight into the barriers and traps that stop us delegating and how AI can help remove some of them
• Common mindset blockers (e.g., ‘It’s quicker to do it myself’, perfectionism, fear of loss of control)
• Practical demonstrations of how AI tools can speed up prep, support clarity, or create a first draft so leaders feel more confident delegating
• Practical ways to develop a delegating leadership style
• Simple behaviours that build trust, encourage autonomy, and develop others
• Where AI can free up time so managers can focus on the coaching, feedback, and relationship-building that make delegation work
