How To Delegate

Before to delegate, it is necessary to define, whether there is in general a sense to delegate the given case. For example, if you can make something faster and is better, than someone probably it does not need to be delegated. And on the contrary. Though if it is necessary for you to operate is better time also such situations delegation makes sense. Here some councils about effective delegation:

• Explain problems accurately and clearly. Only you precisely know, that the problem includes. To you to solve, how much in detail to bring up to date the executor.


• Recollect efficiency key rules: explain, what for you do it, and that wish to receive as a result. That you delegate a problem to someone, does not mean, that the executor should not know these details.


• Designate time frameworks. When you delegate problems do not wish to worry about when there will be a report on work or as work quickly moves ahead. It allows you to be well informed about affairs without constant dialogue with executors.


• Explain to executors why you appoint a problem it, that they should receive and what restrictions on time. Then they will accurately represent, that from them expect and in what term.


• Let executors bear responsibility for problems delegated by it. If you accurately explain what to do to do, paint the project to the smallest details and forbid any initiative is not delegation. It is desirable to make so that the project became for executors the private affair with all responsibility and expectations, instead of is simple performance of another's work.


• Praise! It is important to be benevolent, and all criticism should be constructive. Explain to them where errors are committed and in common search for ways of their correction (if you simply speak how to correct, you already not delegate — see the previous point).
