1 Define the goal

The first step to delegate tasks in a team is to define the goal or outcome that you want to achieve. This will help you to clarify the scope, timeline, and quality standards of the project or task. You should also communicate the purpose and benefits of the goal to your team, so that they understand why it is important and how it aligns with the overall vision and strategy of the organization.

I’ve realized over the years that delegation requires intention and skills in building trust, effective and open communication, and a willingness to learn from others. This has to be understood by the leader first and then communicated to the team so expectations and alignment are set. When assessing the goals and the team members that will contribute and be accountable, it will require continuous communication and feedback to ensure the team is working effectively. As the article says… many leaders struggle and I believe it’s ensuring the leader understands the role of what they should be doing first, working on those skills, and eventually nurturing those skills in others. Good luck out there!

Start with the end in mind. What outcomes are you looking to achieve, and what are the steps to arrive at that result? Getting clear on what’s specifically needed to get to the end goal will help you to better delegate tasks. Also, set expectations ahead of time so that no one is caught off guard. Ensure that everyone is on the same page, so that the team can function at its optimal level.

2 Break down the tasks

The next step is to break down the goal into smaller and manageable tasks, and identify the resources, skills, and tools needed for each task. You can use a tool like a work breakdown structure (WBS) or a Gantt chart to visualize the tasks and their dependencies. This will help you to estimate the time and effort required for each task, and to prioritize them according to their urgency and importance.

3 Select the team members

The third step is to select the team members who will be responsible for each task, based on their skills, availability, and motivation. You should consider the strengths and weaknesses of your team members, as well as their preferences and interests. You should also avoid overloading or underutilizing anyone, and balance the workload among the team. You can use a tool like a RACI matrix to define the roles and responsibilities of each team member, such as who is responsible, accountable, consulted, and informed.

4 Communicate the expectations

The fourth step is to communicate the expectations and instructions clearly and effectively to your team members. You should explain what you want them to do, how you want them to do it, when you want them to do it, and how you will measure their performance. You should also provide them with the necessary resources, support, and feedback, and empower them to make decisions and solve problems within their scope of authority.

Many leaders are nebulous about what they actually want but they don’t realize it. They may say that they want the wellness data analyzed by the end of the week, but they don’t define the scope or the expectations of what role each team member will play in completing this project. Set people up for success by being explicit about what will equate a good outcome. -How will people know that they are on the right track? -Who can they connect with to ask questions or get support? -Will you be checking in to provide feedback along the way or will they receive feedback solely with the end product?

5 Monitor the progress

The fifth step is to monitor the progress and performance of your team members, and provide them with regular feedback and recognition. You should track the status and quality of the tasks, and identify any issues or risks that may arise. You should also communicate any changes or updates to the goal, scope, or timeline, and adjust the plan accordingly. You should avoid micromanaging or interfering with your team members, and trust them to do their job well.

6 Evaluate the results

The final step is to evaluate the results and outcomes of the project or task, and celebrate the achievements and learnings of your team. You should compare the actual results with the expected results, and identify what went well and what can be improved. You should also acknowledge and appreciate the efforts and contributions of your team members, and reward them accordingly. You should also reflect on your own delegation skills, and identify how you can improve them in the future.

Often leaders hesitate to delegate due to a sense of perfectionism. Leaders can overcome 'delegation hesitation' by being curious about their team. Use 1:1 meetings to uncover their ever-changing work interests and goals. Assign tasks matching these insights to not only ensure task completion but also foster individual growth. For example, you may find out that a team member really loves data analysis despite it not being in their job description. Understanding motivations and work styles can also enhance team dynamics and productivity. Curiosity can break through perfectionism and improve delegation. While this is not suggesting scope creep or undue burden, it could reveal misaligned roles or possible new role assignments.
