Whilst there are hundreds of traits and qualities that go into being a good manager, one vital ability is knowing how and when to delegate tasks.

In collaboration with MPW Learning, a programme called ‘Leadership Pathway Programme’ was designed to bring all of the skills of a large high street charity organisation management team up to date. After introduction of the programme, common working practices were restructured, productivity increased and management satisfaction improved.
