You’re a graphic designer who wants to delegate tasks. What are some common misconceptions you should avoid?

"You can't delegate understanding." I heard this years ago, and it's as true then as it is now. No matter what the task, you need to know as much — if not more —?than those you've assigned things to. If you work on an internal team and need to delegate to another team member, you must possess a clear sense of the task at hand from the outset. That way you can explain the parameters clearly, and also be able to properly evaluate the outcome. A clear sense of understanding ensures no loss of control.

Delegation is a means by which time can be managed more effectively by sharing tasks amongst a team. This doesn't preclude you from having a voice in that process and it certainly doesn't mean you can afford to communicate poorly either. Providing you are clear on what should be delivered, you should be able to allow your colleagues to carry out tasks without micro-managing them. If the results don't meet prior agreed expectations then delegate the work back to resolve them.

Déléguer, c'est de bien identifier les compétences de l'autre dans un contexte et des outils bien définis. C'est aussi s'ouvrir à une autre approche, evoluer.

Delegating tasks is a common, daily process that when all parties are clear on their role and responsibility can be an effective tool for time management. It also allows less experienced team members to get involved in appropriate tasks that allow them to grow. With each new project, they can become more involved until ultimately, they are the ones delegating tasks.

Muitas vezes, a delega??o é erroneamente associada apenas a tarefas de baixo valor. No entanto, aprendi que é importante reconhecer que a delega??o pode ser aplicada a uma variedade de tarefas, incluindo aquelas que s?o críticas para o sucesso do projeto. Ao delegar tarefas estratégicas, como pesquisa de mercado ou planejamento de campanhas, pude liberar meu tempo para focar em atividades mais criativas e estratégicas.

Delegation is simply the act of sharing workload, whether it be critical aspects or minor details. However, it is critical that task are delegated appropriately to the right people based on factors like skill and experience.

Pendant quinze ans dans ma société, j'ai délégué des taches importantes à des juniors pour leur permettre de développer leur confiance. évidemment, leur mission était bien encadrée, et cela permet de s'ouvrir à d'autres solutions créatives, une fra?cheur d'esprit salutaire.

Alguns designers podem ver a delega??o como um sinal de fraqueza ou incompetência. No entanto, descobri que isso está longe da verdade. Delegar tarefas mostra confian?a na sua equipe e reconhecimento das habilidades individuais de cada membro. Ao admitir que n?o posso fazer tudo sozinho e buscar a ajuda dos outros, fortale?o minha equipe e melhoro a eficiência do trabalho em equipe.

Outro equívoco comum é pensar na delega??o como uma via de m?o única, onde apenas o líder delega tarefas aos membros da equipe. Na realidade, a delega??o pode e deve ser uma via de m?o dupla, com os membros da equipe sendo incentivados a delegar tarefas entre si conforme apropriado. Ao promover uma cultura de delega??o dentro da equipe, todos se sentem mais capacitados e engajados no trabalho.
