Much of our
success is dependent upon our teams efforts and how we assign work and
delegate.
What is
delegation; A shared obligation. Asking another person to do part of your job
and giving enough authority to do it.
Why don’t we
delegate? The common reasons are:
►I can do it better myself
►They might make a mistake
►I might lose control
►I feel threatened when I do
Why do some employees resist taking on assignments?
►They don’t get feedback
►They sometime don’t have the time
►They’ve learned that it’s sometimes safer to rely on the
boss
What can you delegate?
► Anything that can be done better than you
► Anything they can do instead of you
► Anything they can do with less experience than you
►Anything that will add to their development
What can you NOT delegate?
► Confidential matters
► Disciplinary Actions
► Legally / contractually ( Union ) restricted jobs
► Ultimate accountability for the job
