1 Delegation Myths

One prevalent myth is that delegation diminishes your control over projects. In reality, effective delegation increases your team's capacity to manage and execute tasks efficiently. By entrusting responsibilities to competent team members, you're not losing control; you're actually enhancing the organization's ability to meet its objectives. Delegation allows you to focus on strategic planning and leadership, while your team members grow and contribute more meaningfully to the mission.

One thing I have discovered is that not delegating enough is simply a saboteur's tool to impede organizational goals especially as it retards personnel development and it's critically detrimental to the core objectves of any business endeavour. Every Successful Manager was given a chance by their predecessors or leaders in their industry or career.

2 Trust Building

Another misconception is that delegation can lead to a decline in quality because others may not perform tasks up to your standard. However, delegation is an opportunity to build trust and empower your team. By providing clear instructions, necessary resources, and support, you set your team up for success. When you trust your team and they deliver, it reinforces their confidence and your trust in them, creating a virtuous cycle of improvement and engagement.

An example is imagine there were no standards of practice and simply because the Neurosurgeon doesn't trust the quality of service being delivered by the security team,will He/She leave in the middle of a medical procedure to check up on the janitors ???

3 Skill Matching

Some believe that delegation is just assigning tasks to anyone available, but it's actually about matching tasks to the right people's skills. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of your team members, and delegate accordingly. This not only ensures that tasks are completed effectively but also helps in personal development of your staff as they take on challenges suited to their skills, fostering a sense of achievement and growth.

Identifying Team members with the expertise and necessary experience for specific tasks inclusive of effective monitoring and feedback in place will most definitely get the job done and inevitably lead to systematic advancement of any organization.

4 Time Management

It's often thought that delegation is time-consuming, but in the long run, it saves time. Initially, you'll invest time in training and guiding your team members, but as they become more proficient, they'll handle tasks more independently. This frees up your time to focus on higher-level responsibilities that only you can perform, ultimately benefiting the organization with more strategic leadership.

I completely agree with this line of thought. Everything we do has a timeline to it and successful projects can also be measured by their completion at the appointed time or before alloted time-frame and this is the hallmark of an excellent delegation exercise, infact, saving time is a major point.

Time management often reveals that delegation, while initially time-consuming, ultimately saves time. Investing in training and guiding your team members pays off as they become more proficient and handle tasks independently. This frees up your time to focus on higher-level responsibilities that only you can perform, providing the organisation with more strategic leadership and direction. Thus, effective delegation enhances both individual and organisational efficiency.

5 Feedback Loop

A common misconception is that once a task is delegated, it's out of your hands. In contrast, creating a feedback loop is a vital part of the delegation process. Regular check-ins and constructive feedback help ensure that tasks are on track and align with the organization's goals. This also allows for timely course corrections and continuous improvement, making delegation an interactive and dynamic process.

6 Empowerment Effect

Lastly, some fear that delegation may lead to power struggles or a loss of authority. On the contrary, when done right, delegation can empower your team and reinforce your leadership. By giving team members ownership of tasks and recognizing their contributions, you foster a collaborative environment. This empowerment can lead to increased motivation, innovation, and commitment to the organization's success.

Actually, delegation in itself is pivotal to strengthening Power positions in any industry, you must have heard "We rise by lifting others" Industry leaders must recognise that putting effective delegation into strategic departments is strategic; one certain outcome as far the right practice is instituted. It's only lonely at the top for those who pushed to rise alone"
