The Ethics of Delegation can be offered as a plenary or a 60 minute breakout session with ethics/professionalism CLE credits.
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Many lawyers have not mastered effective delegation techniques probably because nobody ever taught them the basic skills. They are missing the opportunity to leverage their own talents by delegating projects and tasks to other lawyers, legal professionals and strong support staff. Besides, lawyers are bound by MRPC 5.1 and 5.3 relating to ethical responsibilities in the supervisory context. Workplace outcomes are no doubt adversely affected when delegations go astray. Lawyers and staff at all levels will benefit from the techniques explored in this program. Special tips will be provided for Micromanagers, Procrastinators and their victims.
Those attending this session will learn:
Tools distributed include: The Responsibility Shift, Handling Outcomes, The Mistake Process (for Delegator and Delegatee).

Although I am a seasoned and licensed practitioner, I no longer actively engage in the practice of law and do not render legal advice to anyone. Nonetheless, I love the law and read various legal journals, blogs and books on a daily basis. I gladly share these resources with my clients, colleagues, CLE students as well as readers of my website and other social media outlets.
