1. Delegation
   I have some “old” material from Zoll on Delegation and Alan Lakein on Time management. If you are MBTI trained there are also some useful approaches from that source.
   Let me have your fax number if you want copies.

2. Time Management & Delegation
   You might want to have a read of “First Things First” by Stephen R Covey which is taken from the “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”. Time management needs to be more of a habit/discipline rather than a “model” per se, and this book will certainly give you some excellent ideas that you can develop. It focusses primarily on the difference between urgent / important and the need to get priorities right first.

   Simple things for dealing with Time Management include the 4 D’s – Do, Diary, Delegate, Dump – and you can then expand around this with the Delegate bit and look at putting together a flow of “Start with the end in mind” (Another Covey priniciple) – what should the outcome be, by when, etc and then through the essential clear communication / repsonsibility / involvement. Please see other posting on Delegation on this forum, where IDEAL has been suggested as a way of remembering the steps of delegating.

   Hope this is of some help, if you want to chat further please feel free to contact me off-line.

   I have developed an excellent programme which deals with both these topics and would be happy to discuss with you if of interest.

   Best of luck
