What do you do if you need to develop your leadership skills through delegation?

Identify tasks: Determine which tasks can be delegated based on their complexity, time sensitivity, and skill requirements. Select team members: Choose individuals who have the necessary skills and capabilities to handle the delegated tasks effectively. Communicate clearly: Clearly outline the delegated tasks, including the objectives, expectations, deadlines, and any relevant guidelines or resources. Provide support: Offer guidance, resources, and assistance as needed to ensure that the delegated tasks are completed successfully. Empower and trust: Empower team members to make decisions and take ownership of their delegated tasks. Trust their abilities and provide feedback and encouragement along the way.

Understanding delegation is crucial for enhancing leadership abilities. It involves more than task assignment; it's about entrusting your team with responsibilities and authority, considering their strengths, weaknesses, and growth potential. Clear communication of expectations and outcomes, along with providing necessary resources and supportive guidance without micromanaging, is essential. Proper delegation boosts team efficiency, morale, and fosters personal leadership growth.

1) Identify your team members’ skills and delegate tasks accordingly to optimize performance and development. 2) Clearly communicate the desired outcomes, deadlines, and standards for each delegated task to ensure understanding and accountability. 3) Provide the necessary resources and authority for team members to complete their tasks effectively, creating a sense of ownership.

Most people misunderstand delegation. It is not "giving" tasks or responsibilities. It is not something a leader/manager does to promote learning, or show trust etc. Rather, it is placing tasks or responsibilities where it belongs. Having a task or responsibility handled by the person / team who is best suited and qualified for it. Delegation is not a training exercise. It is getting tasks and responsibilities to the right place, for the right reason, at that time - because that person or team is the best suited to handle this.

If you want to get better at leading by giving tasks to others, start by identifying tasks you can pass on. Then, choose the right people for those tasks and clearly explain what needs to be done. Make sure to provide support and guidance as needed, but also give them the freedom to work independently. Finally, remember to provide feedback and recognize their efforts. Practice makes perfect, so keep delegating and learning from the experience!

You see - if you understand delegation properly - making sure everyone fully understands what they are responsible for and thus absorbs tasks rather than have them allocated - then expectations is centered around outcomes. Nothing else. Because when someone else takes accountability - your role is to support (tactically and strategically). You are performing a supporting function to the task owner, who is taking the lead. Ensure clarity of required outcome.

What many people miss is that delegation is a consequence of poor role definition and understanding. I mean, think about it - if everyone in the team / structure fully understood their role, what they are responsible for - and also understood what everyone else is responsible for and take ownership of - and how they all fit together - then "giving / delegating" tasks will not happen. Because responsibility / ownership has already been delegated. And then everyone picks up as needed, based on what they take ownership for. The real work then is helping confirm where a specific task or focus suits best, rather here than there, when more than 1 person / team claims it.
