Delegating Effectively
- Share to:
Effective delegation enables you to get work done through other people and is central to effective management.
In recent years we have seen changes in the way work is organized. Organizations and workteams have become ‘lean’, but a lean workteam is no use unless it is flexible and able to respond quickly to new circumstances. So it is athletic workteams we need, not skeletons! Being flexible means being capable of being deployed where you are most needed. Delegating to your team means that you build up a pool of experience and skill which you can use in a flexible way. It also enables you to cope with pressure at work, when your organization asks you to achieve more in your work.
In this session we’ll look at what is involved in delegating, and we will demonstrate that its practice is a skill, and as such can be both learned and improved.
Poorly managed delegation can lead people to think that delegation means someone is ‘passing the buck’, or just getting someone else to do their work for them. We’ll see why effective delegation could not be further from this dismissive description. We’ll show how it is an important technique to use for managing your team successfully.
