Delegating for CEOs and Senior Executives
In a recent Credit Union Management magazine article, Darden Executive Education's Senior Director Lou Centini was featured in an article titled "Delegating for CEOs and Senior Executives." In the article, Centini stresses the importance of delegation among a team, mastering strategy processes, and devoting time to improving people processes. Not only is it important to hire the right staff and know their capabilities, but empowering them to handle challenging assignments is perhaps the best way to develop them into leaders.
