The Art of Delegation… Delegation is a necessary, if often difficult skill. This is a fact I am reminded of almost daily as I work with business owners, managers and entrepreneurs.
In reality, letting go of most anything in life can be a hard thing to do. So it stands to reason that effective delegation of important decision-making responsibilities can be an on-going challenge facing business owners. Over time, however, this skill can be one of the most critical for growing and sustaining success. Below are a few tips to help us delegate more effectively - - Decide what you want to delegate!
- - Clearly identify your expectations, including guidelines, results or methods to be used as well as resources and budget restrictions - - Tell the employee why you have chosen them for the task (a great way to boost confidence & employee morale!)
- - Encourage feedback throughout and at the end of the project - - Remember that by delegating more it will not only get easier, but employees will begin to ask “What should I do?” and feel more comfortable making their own decisions.
