2. BWIS Workshop: Successful Delegation Skills

   Lily Cushenbery, Stony Brook University

   Thursday, June 25, 2020, 3 pm
   See event description for virtual meeting link.

   Time is one of the most valuable resources in your organization, but we often feel like we have to do everything ourselves. It's likely that you've been successful in the past because you were a high performer, and you may not be used to relying on others to get your work done. Taking on too much of the work yourself can lead to feeling overwhelmed and spending less time on other key tasks such as thinking more strategically or spending time with others. Research shows that delegation builds confidence in team members and teaches them to take greater initiative and responsibility. In this interactive program, we'll discuss the common misperceptions about delegation and use evidence-based best practices for effectively delegating tasks and empowering others to achieve them. Workshop Highlights: • Evaluate how likely you are to delegate and barriers that may be preventing you from trusting others • Learn guidelines for effective delegation, including resisting "reverse-delegation" where you still end up completing the work yourself • Practice delegation techniques and strategies for monitoring a task To register, click here: https://www.thelclab.com/delegationworkshop/

   Enrico Fermi, born in September 1901, was an Italian and naturalized-American-physicist and a husband, father, and one of the world's most brilliant and productive scientists. In 1938 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. In January, 1939, after receiving the Nobel Prize he moved to Columbia University and eventually the University of Chicago where he led the first nuclear chain reaction. Ed works in the Quality Management Office at BNL as the Laboratory Compliance Officer. He is currently serving his fourth term as President of the Long Island Chapter of the American Nuclear Society.
