Know How to Delegate

Published: Mar 29, 2004

Application

Delegating is a management skill that must be learned.

Initially delegating requires time for: planning what should be delegated, selecting and training competent staff to accept and fulfill responsibility, defining expectations, coaching for improved performance and a method for measuring and rewarding results. Delegation requires time at the outset for saving time in the long run.

Don't mix delegation with abdication. Some form of follow-up is important.

When you assign responsibility match it with the appropriate authority.

The ultimate accountability rests with the manager who delegates.
