1 Assess Value

Begin by evaluating the value of each task on your plate. Ask yourself, which activities contribute most to your goals and which could be handled by someone else without compromising quality? High-value tasks that align with your core competencies should typically remain with you. Conversely, tasks that are time-consuming but not necessarily complex, such as data entry or scheduling, are prime candidates for delegation. This assessment will clarify where your attention is essential and where others can step in.

2 Know Strengths

Understanding the strengths of your team is crucial in effective delegation. If you're unsure about someone's capabilities, take the time to learn about their skills and past experiences. This knowledge allows you to match tasks with the team member best suited to execute them efficiently. It's not just about offloading work; it's about aligning tasks with the right skill sets to ensure success and foster professional growth within your team.

3 Set Priorities

Prioritization is key when deciding which tasks to delegate. Consider deadlines, the importance of the task in the larger project scope, and the potential impact of not completing it on time. Prioritize tasks that are urgent but not necessarily critical for you to do personally. By delegating these tasks, you maintain momentum on your projects while freeing up your time for work that requires your unique expertise.

4 Communicate Clearly

Clear communication is the cornerstone of successful delegation. When assigning a task, be explicit about expectations, desired outcomes, and deadlines. Ensure that the person taking on the task has all the necessary information and resources to complete it effectively. Regular check-ins can help keep things on track, but avoid micromanaging, as it defeats the purpose of delegation and can hinder your team's confidence and autonomy.

If there is one thing that AI is highlighting for us, is that precise and detailed communication is the key to obtain the results that we need. Be vague or verbose and you'll waste a lot of time going back and redoing. When we delegate, we tend to assume that the team members are in our head, and that they are understanding what is the result that we need to obtain, even without us having to say it in so many words. Obviously, no, that's not the case. Use a few more words than usual, choose to provide more precise instructions, go down to details, ask questions to probe understanding; don't be bothered by the thought that you're wasting resources with all the talking. When time and results improve, you'll be happy that you did.

5 Provide Support

Offering support to those you've delegated tasks to is essential. Be available to answer questions, provide guidance, and offer feedback. This support not only ensures the task is completed to your standards but also helps in building a more skilled and self-sufficient team. Remember, delegation is a two-way street; it's about entrusting tasks to others while also being a resource for them.

It doesn't matter how well you explained detailed instructions and expected results. There will always be questions. Worse, there will always be individual understandings or interpretations that the team member is "absolutely sure" to have got it correctly. Even worse, there will always be mistakes. In favor of a speedy and accurate process, be sure to check back, ask questions, show how, remind expectations... be present and be of help. As much as they assist you in achieving goals, you are a resource to assist them with feedback, information and encouragement.

6 Review Results

Finally, make sure to review the results of delegated tasks. This step is crucial for ensuring quality and for understanding how effectively the delegation process is working. Use these reviews as learning opportunities for both you and your team members. Discuss what went well and where there's room for improvement. This feedback loop will enhance future delegation efforts and contribute to a culture of continuous improvement.

Quality, as we know, moves in circles. It starts its journey at planning, meeting, discussing; it continues forward at delegating, assigning, executing... and it goes back to close the circle with feedback and continuous improvement. Reviewing the results with the team, analyzing the bumps found on the road and the best way to resolve them, ensuring that the final product complies with expectations and implementing whatever measures are needed to improve the next circle around; all of this is critical to the advancement of the entire system: to the team performance, the final quality of the product and even to the economic impact on the company's bottom line.
