Learing to Delegate

Well, all of us must have heard about delegation!!

The dictionary defines delegation as - To commit or entrust to another

I personally think delegation is a skill!! And deciding what is to be delegated and what is not to be delegated is an art!!



 Experience will play a major role in this aspect.

A few points to help one start delegating are - 
  • Let Go!!
  • Trust people!!
And some points to make delegation effective and helpful are -
  • Identify your team, enlist them in your cause, get them started and let them take off!!
  • Share the information!!
  • Communicate the objectives and the expected outcome!!
  • Review the progress!!
  • Don't micromanage and over delegate!!
