A lot of tasks that academicians need to go through, may simply be outsourced, if one approaches it through the prism of convenience. But this misses the very point of academics, which is to train the next set of talent. Managers who find delivering corporate training a chore, need to get back to the class room, but as teachers, not trainers. This is because while the latter emphasizes a lot on delegating, teaching is about imparting of necessary skills. Mere delegating often gives employees the faulty image that they are incapable of some work themselves. One way to start off, is to gauge who all in the team are ambitious enough to go up. Managers who take personal care in the development of the next level, end up learning a lot more about the work themselves.
