The Key to Successful Delegation: Levels of Authority

Presented by Veronica Frenkel, Pathways Consulting

Are you a manager who wants to get more done? You can leverage and develop the talents of your team members, better manage your time, and boost employee engagement by effectively practicing the essential leadership skill of delegation. Following a dialogue about the strategic importance of delegation, in this webinar we will explore one common pitfall when delegating, i.e., assigning too much or too little freedom to the employee, which can lead to challenges for managers and employees alike. You will learn a framework that reminds us that there are many different levels of authority we can grant when delegating. And we will review practical tips for evaluating employee readiness and other factors we should consider when making the best determination about which level is most appropriate. You will walk away being able to delegate with greater confidence, less micromanagement, and better results.

NVIE Webinar Series: Cybersecurity, Part 2

Presented by Jennifer Kurtz, Manufacturer's Edge

Description: According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, manufacturing is the second most targeted industry based on the number of reported cyberattacks. Further, cyber criminals view small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) as prime targets because many of these companies don’t have adequate preventative measures in place.

For Department of Defense (DoD), contractors and subcontractors, business as usual is no more. As of December 31, 2017, all federal government contractors were obligated to meet the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) minimum cybersecurity requirements or risk losing their contracts.

  • Why should we care about cyber security and NIST SP 800-171?
  • What is at risk (business and contractual impact)?
  • Which areas did DOD identify in recent audits as the most common for noncompliance?
  • Where do we start?
