Why This Matters

Teams stall when leaders hold on too tightly. Bottlenecks grow, motivation dips, and capable people wait for direction instead of taking ownership. Delegation isn’t a task handover—it’s a leadership act that builds trust, develops capability, and creates the space leaders need to focus on what only they can do.

This workshop helps participants shift from “doing” to enabling. Through experiential challenges and real workplace scenarios, learners practice scoping work clearly, matching tasks to strengths, setting decision rights, and coaching for outcomes—so delegation becomes a driver of growth, not a risk to be avoided.

Research by Gallup shows that managers who delegate effectively empower teams to take ownership and make faster, better decisions.

    Examples are drawn from the client industry and organization

  • E

    Experiential

    Learning by doing, not by listening

  • T

Walk-Through of Learner Experience

At FocusU, every learning experience follows a deliberate arc — moving participants
from awareness to application, and from insight to action.

STAGE WHAT HAPPENS
Discover Participants experience engaging activities, challenges and scenarios that surface real attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of behaviour.
Reflect Guided debriefs and discussions help them make sense of what they experienced - connecting it to their personal and workplace realities.
Reframe Learners explore new mindsets, tools, and frameworks that offer fresh ways to approach everyday challenges.
Apply Through practice, planning, and peer feedback, participants translate insights into actionable commitments they can take back to work.

Every FocusU intervention is designed to move learners from knowing to doing — ensuring
learning doesn’t end in the workshop, but continues in how people think, collaborate, and lead.

    Five reasons as to why I would engage with FocusU again: 1. Ability to understand the customer and empathize with them. 2. Willing to walk the pathway with the customer and hence the flexibility comes in as a huge relief in a world of stereotype, fixated trainers. 3. They are passionate and it is contagious! 4. Willing to correct course, when required 5. Very professional approach.

    Thank you for an excellent senior management intervention (AGM – AVP level) using the Leadership Challenge construct. The program aimed to develop leaders embodying our brand. The intervention included conducting a diagnostic and designing the workshop to suit the need of the target audience, which FocusU did impeccably.

You can download a program overview from each of the topic pages. Do note that while this will give you a broad structure of the workshop, our learning designers will still need to talk with you to customize the workshop to your context.
