Using the Evie Takes a Chance Case Study
There are many ways in which you could use this case study and many topics for which it could provide a useful springboard for learning. We suggest some of them here. This is not a prescriptive list but obvious areas would be:
• Delegation.
• Leadership.
• Becoming a leader.
• Coaching.

Notes:
In this case study, Evie sees delegation as a way out of a dilemma caused by her own lack of time management and procrastination. It powerfully illustrates how not to delegate and the dangers of unplanned delegation.

Activity Example:
Use these questions in small teams, with pairs or with individuals. The case study could also form the basis of a written assignment or be used simply as a tool to spark a whole group discussion.
• How effectively do you think Evie handled the situation?
• What do you think of Evie's approach to delegation? Would you have done things differently?
• What problems might you expect Bryn to experience in carrying out the task?
• Why do you think Evie behaves like this?
• What do you think Jennifer could do to help Evie?

Other Areas for Learning:
You could also use the case study to allow participants to practice many techniques or to learn about specific theories and approaches. For example:
• Effective Delegation.
• Leadership vs Management.
• Coaching.
• Time Management.
