Delegating Tasks
As, leader
you should concentrate your time on activities that nobody else can do.
Delegation is a form of time management. It is a way of exercising control and
meeting your own responsibilities more effectively, While developing the skills
of your staff.
Increasing Your
Time
Managers often claim that the demands of
operational and routine duties leave them little to concentrate on important,
long-term matters, such as strategic planning
and training. To create more time for yourself, it is essential to hand
down more routine tasks by delegation. Even if you, the leader, are better and
faster at a task than anybody else in the team, the golden rule is that you
should not, and cannot, do everything yourself. Leadership involves handing
over the task to others, and then helping them to match or exceed your
standards.
Briefing
delegates
Give the delegate a clear, written brief,
developed in consultation, that sets out the objectives, the resource available,
the constraints, and the time schedule, if relevant. Supplement the written brief
with an interview to ensure mutual understanding. If the circumstances change,
after the brief to suit-don’t stick to it slavishly.
