Welcome to Manager Tools. Teaching Decision Making, the Responsibility Ladder Part 2.

Here we go.

This cast answers these questions. How can I teach my directs how to make decisions on their own? How can I

help my directs make better decisions? How can I help my directs learn how to

take responsibility for projects? Well if you want answers to these questions and

more, keep listening.

If you enjoy our guidance about the main event Trinity,

getting to know your people, talking about performance,

asking for more, pushing work down, and our tools are helpful, one-on-one's

feedback, coaching, and delegation.

The ideal way to learn about implementing them is to come to one of our effective manager

conferences.

One day, we cover all of the major topics, you practice feedback, you practice coaching, you

practice delegation.

I can't tell you the number of times people have said to us, wow, I thought I understood the tools, and then

when I had to practice, I realized I've taken it to another level.

Come to the website, check out our conference schedule, see us all over the US and in Europe and in Asia and in Australia.

See you there.

Last week we talked about the first step in working at the responsibility ladder with your directs, which is to assign deliverables first.

And we talked about deliverables and tasks and the whole thing.

So folks, if you didn't listen to the previous cast, I'd encourage you to go back and do that.

Yep. The next step is explain context, the why of all this.
