1 Assess their work style

Before you assign any tasks to your new hire, take some time to understand their work style and how it differs from yours. You can use various tools and frameworks, such as the DISC model, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or the VARK learning styles, to identify their strengths, weaknesses, preferences, and motivations. Alternatively, you can simply have a conversation with them and ask them how they like to work, what they need from you as a leader, and what challenges they face. This will help you tailor your delegation strategy to their work style and avoid potential conflicts or misunderstandings.

When delegating tasks to a new team member with a distinct approach, begin by understanding their work style. Clearly communicate expectations and project significance while remaining open to their insights. Provide necessary support while granting autonomy, ensuring tasks align with team objectives. Monitor progress without micromanaging and recognize achievements. Striking a balance between guidance and independence fosters a collaborative and effective work environment

2 Set clear expectations

Once you have a sense of your new hire's work style, you need to set clear expectations for the tasks you delegate to them. This means defining the scope, deadline, quality standards, and deliverables of each task, as well as the roles and responsibilities of everyone involved. You also need to explain the purpose and value of each task, and how it aligns with the team's and the organization's goals. This will help your new hire understand what you expect from them and why it matters.

3 Choose the right level of delegation

Depending on your new hire's work style, experience, and confidence, you may need to adjust the level of delegation you use. Some people may prefer more autonomy and freedom, while others may need more guidance and support. You can use a delegation matrix, such as the one proposed by Hersey and Blanchard, to determine the appropriate level of delegation for each task and each person. The matrix consists of four levels: tell, sell, consult, and join. Each level represents a different degree of involvement and decision-making authority for the leader and the delegatee. You can choose the level that best suits your new hire's work style and development needs.

4 Provide feedback and support

Delegating tasks effectively is not a one-time event, but an ongoing process that requires feedback and support. You need to monitor your new hire's progress and performance, and provide them with constructive feedback that helps them improve and grow. You also need to offer them the resources, tools, and assistance they need to complete the tasks successfully. However, you should avoid micromanaging or interfering with their work, as this can undermine their trust and motivation. Instead, you should empower them to make decisions, solve problems, and learn from their mistakes.

Delegating to someone with a different work style is like giving a map to someone who prefers a compass. They might get there eventually, but you can help them navigate faster! Provide regular feedback and support, tailored to their preferences. Bonus Tip: Don't just point out mistakes, offer solutions! And most importantly, give them the space to learn and grow. Micromanaging might seem safe, but trust and empowerment will lead to a more successful team in the long run!

5 Recognize and reward their efforts

Finally, you need to recognize and reward your new hire's efforts and achievements when they complete the tasks you delegate to them. This will help you build a positive and respectful relationship with them, and show them that you appreciate their work and value their contribution. You can use various forms of recognition and reward, such as verbal praise, public acknowledgment, feedback, bonuses, incentives, or opportunities for growth and development. You should also celebrate their successes and share their learnings with the rest of the team and the organization.

I would first start with taking a moment to learn about their style! There’s a reason this talented individual was hired, especially with the current pool of people applying for limited positions in various sectors. Discover what unique talents or perspectives gave them an edge over their competition. From here, you can begin to understand how your style might overlap in unforeseen ways. For task delegation, the art of questioning is truly an art and although you might know the answer, provide an opportunity to be part of the decision making. A leader with a questioning attitude promotes critical thinking, empowers their team, fosters continuous improvement, enhances communication, and remains adaptable in dynamic environments.
