1 Assess their readiness

Before you assign a task to your mentee, you need to assess their readiness to take it on. Readiness is a combination of their ability (skills, knowledge, experience) and their willingness (motivation, interest, confidence) to perform the task. You can use a simple matrix to categorize your mentee's readiness level as low, medium, or high, and adjust your delegation style accordingly. For example, if your mentee has low readiness, you might need to provide more guidance, support, and feedback. If they have high readiness, you might give them more autonomy, responsibility, and recognition.

Drawing from my own experience, I've faced doubts about my abilities, leading some to believe I avoid responsibilities. However, what's helped me is when my mentor assigns manageable tasks and gradually builds upon them. This approach helps me avoid feeling overwhelmed and fosters trust in my ability to handle tasks step by step.

2 Communicate clearly

When you delegate a task to your mentee, you need to communicate clearly what you expect from them, why the task is important, and how they can succeed. You can use the SMART criteria to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound goals for the task. You also need to explain the scope, resources, and constraints of the task, and the criteria and methods for evaluation. Make sure your mentee understands the task and its purpose, and ask them to repeat or summarize it in their own words. Encourage them to ask questions and clarify any doubts or concerns.

3 Empower and encourage

One of the main benefits of delegating tasks to your mentee is to empower and encourage them to develop their potential and confidence. You can do this by involving them in the decision-making process, giving them some choice and flexibility in how they approach the task, and allowing them to learn from their mistakes. You can also praise their efforts, acknowledge their progress, and celebrate their achievements. Show them that you trust and respect them, and that you are there to support and coach them, not to micromanage or criticize them.

"I believe that delegating a task to a mentee with a lack of confidence requires sensitivity. First, we need to assess the reasons for their lack of confidence through clear and in-depth communication. Based on this assessment, we should design the task with customized actions and provide the necessary tools to empower the mentee. It's important to break down the task into smaller milestones and provide continuous feedback. We should also celebrate each milestone achieved to encourage the mentee."

4 Monitor and provide feedback

Delegating a task to your mentee does not mean that you abandon or ignore them. You still need to monitor their performance and provide feedback to help them improve and grow. You can use different methods and tools to track their progress, such as check-ins, reports, dashboards, or meetings. You can also ask them to self-assess and reflect on their strengths and weaknesses, challenges and opportunities, and lessons learned. When you give feedback, be specific, constructive, and balanced. Focus on the task, not the person. Highlight what they did well, what they can do better, and how they can do it.

You need to strike a balance between checking in on them and providing guidance when needed, without making them feel micromanaged. It's important to empower them to feel in control while also reassuring them that you're available to offer support and provide constructive feedback consistently. The goal is to enhance their confidence in their abilities.

5 Review and reward

When your mentee completes a task, you need to review and reward their performance. You can use the feedback you collected and the criteria you set to evaluate how well they performed the task, and how much they learned and improved. You can also ask them to share their feedback on the delegation process, and how they felt about the task, the support, and the outcome. You can use this information to identify areas for improvement, both for yourself and for your mentee. Finally, you need to reward your mentee for their efforts and achievements. You can use different types of rewards, such as recognition, appreciation, incentives, or opportunities, to motivate and inspire them to take on more tasks and challenges.

Well, that is why he or she is a mentee and you are a mentor. It is your responsibility to develop them in any way you can. Spend some time with them, explain the basics, give ideas, and let them do it under your supervision. Try to interfere as little as possible, and at the end, do a short analysis, give them feedback, support, and encourage them as much as you can. After some time, they will find their confidence for sure. Just be there and be supportive.
