Effective Delegation
for Managers and Leaders
|
The ability to delegate is one of the most important skills of being a successful manager and leader….. yet many (most?) struggle with delegation, seeing it as a time-consuming risk that leads to a loss of control and reduced work quality. Many mistake delegation for abdication – knowing no better, they simply hand over a task and walk away. Understanding the 3 levels of delegation, the skilled leader can assess the level of competence and motivation of the team member, and then provide flexible, situational monitoring as the recipient grows into taking full ownership of the task. |
