This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
2,706 management tools in one course: 2,050 ready-to-use files, scripts, templates and checklists, 39 services and apps shown on screen, plus 617 models and methods.
Open a lecture, take the tool, use it to hand over a task this week.
Why managers keep doing the work themselves
It is faster to do it than to explain it. The last time you delegated, the result came back wrong and late. So you take the task back, stay late, and your team waits for instructions. You become the bottleneck for everything, your best people stop growing, and the work that only you can do never gets your attention.
What changes after this course
You hand work over in a way that holds. A process that defines the result, the authority and the check-in points. A matrix that shows who owns what. A script for the conversation where ownership actually transfers. A short weekly report that keeps you informed without chasing. Questions that tell you how much freedom each person is ready for. And ready systems for handing your calendar, inbox and travel to an assistant.
What is inside: 2,706 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.
Where the tools are
Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
I have seen delegation work through a simple office task: arranging televisions for meeting rooms. I asked an office manager to handle it, and within about three hours she had visited a shop, selected a model, obtained the money, and arranged an electrician. I reviewed her choice and asked only for 4K televisions. By Monday, the televisions were there. This experience informs the delegation and ownership tools in this course.
How to use the course
Start with the delegation core, then the sections on asynchronous teams and working with an assistant. After that, treat the rest as a reference library. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name, so you can find the right tool before the conversation you are preparing for.
What is included
Where to start
Write down three tasks you did last week that someone on your team could have done. Open the second section, take the delegation process and the ownership script, and hand over the first one tomorrow. Managers who delegate well are the ones who get bigger teams, and every task you keep is a task your people do not learn. Enrol now and start your first lesson today.
