The Art of Delegation and High-Impact Feedback (Virtual) Whether you are a project manager, an executive, or simply someone involved in leading or helping others, a critical part of your work must involve delegating and giving feedback. These two skills, however, are not as simple as they seem. How do you know what to delegate? What kinds of feedback should you give? Knowing this and practicing this are two different things. Ultimately, delegating and giving feedback are skills that must be done mindfully, strategically, and meaningfully. They must be done in ways that not only positively impact performance, but also inspire growth, engagement, and motivation. When done poorly, they can create significant problems. But when done well, they can generate value for everyone and benefit future endeavors. In this course, you will learn to think more deeply about the importance of delegating and discover how to give better feedback. You will have opportunities to apply best practices and methodologies that you can use in the real world, ultimately paying off for you and for others. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Explain why common excuses for NOT delegating are short-sighted Identify what needs delegating by using a proven methodology Utilize best practices in real world scenarios, delegating in a way that benefits you and the individual to whom you delegate Summarize key lessons learned in brain science which enhance the feedback-giving process Recognize the critical connection between feedback and performance Apply a proven model to deliver feedback that inspires growth, engagement, and motivation Delegation What is delegation? What makes delegation hard? What do I delegate and why? How to delegate effectively
The importance of building services to the success of an organisation has never been greater and continues to grow. Developers and occupiers are becoming more aware of the contribution that building services make to the well being of occupants and hence their perception of the quality of the working environment.

This involves reviewing financial statements, accounting practices, contracts, and other financial data to ensure accuracy and transparency. Valuation and Financial Modeling: CFOs work closely with the executive team, external advisors, and investment bankers to determine the company’s valuation. They develop financial models, assess growth projections, and analyze market comparables to arrive at a fair and realistic valuation range. Financial Documentation and Reporting: CFOs ensure that financial documentation and reporting are in order, accurate, and compliant with regulatory requirements. This includes preparing financial statements, management reports, and other financial disclosures necessary for the exit process. Negotiation and Deal Structuring: CFOs collaborate with legal and executive teams to negotiate the terms of the exit transaction. They provide financial insights and expertise to structure the deal in a way that maximizes value for the company and its stakeholders. Tax Planning and Optimisation: CFOs work closely with tax advisors to develop tax-efficient strategies for the exit transaction. They assess potential tax implications, explore tax-saving opportunities, and ensure compliance with applicable tax laws and regulations. Financial Communication and Investor Relations: CFOs play a critical role in communicating the financial aspects of the exit to internal and external stakeholders. They work with investor relations teams to ensure that key messages are effectively conveyed, providing transparency and clarity throughout the exit process. https://www.fdcapital.co.uk/podcast/the-vital-role-of-cfos-in-business-exit-preparation/ Tags Online Events Things To Do Online Online Seminars Online Business Seminars #business #cfo #preparation #exit #vital
