1 Identify the tasks

The first step is to identify the tasks that you can delegate and the ones that you should keep. A useful tool for this is the Eisenhower matrix, which categorizes tasks based on their urgency and importance. Tasks that are urgent and important are the ones that you should do yourself, as they are critical for your success. Tasks that are important but not urgent are the ones that you should delegate, as they are strategic and long-term. Tasks that are urgent but not important are the ones that you should delegate or outsource, as they are operational and short-term. Tasks that are neither urgent nor important are the ones that you should eliminate, as they are irrelevant and distracting.

Delegation should depend on the urgency of the task itself and also the skill set of the person you intend to delegate the task too. In my opinion super critical task should never be delegated.

2 Choose the right person

The next step is to choose the right person for the task. You should consider the person's skills, experience, availability, and interest in the task. You should also think about how the task fits into the person's career goals and development needs. You want to delegate tasks that will challenge, motivate, and empower your team members, not overwhelm, bore, or frustrate them. You should also avoid delegating tasks that are too sensitive, confidential, or personal, as they may create ethical or legal issues.

Well I can count on one hand the times I have been chosen to help an “Executive”. One could let that request go to their head or think they were the ultimate person. I choose neither of those, I just want to accept the request as being that I can do the job and get it done promptly and accurately

For Delegation the most important thing is the skill set but there are few other things that should be taken into consideration. Someone already overwhelmed with work might not be able to deliver on time. Delegation across the team should be fair for all members.

3 Communicate clearly

The third step is to communicate clearly with the person you are delegating to. You should explain the task, the expected outcome, the deadline, the resources, and the authority level. You should also clarify the role and responsibility of the person, and how you will monitor and evaluate their performance. You should use SMART criteria to set clear and specific goals, and provide constructive feedback along the way. You should also encourage questions, suggestions, and feedback from the person, and listen to their concerns and challenges.

4 Empower and support

The fourth step is to empower and support the person you are delegating to. You should give them the autonomy and flexibility to complete the task in their own way, as long as they meet the standards and expectations. You should also provide them with the necessary tools, information, and guidance to help them succeed. You should avoid micromanaging, interfering, or taking over the task, as this will undermine their confidence and motivation. You should also recognize, appreciate, and reward their efforts and achievements, and celebrate their success.

Effective delegation involves empowering your team members by entrusting them with responsibilities and providing the necessary support. Allowing individuals to approach tasks in their own way fosters creativity and a sense of ownership, boosting their confidence and commitment. Recognizing and celebrating their achievements further underscores their value to the team, creating a positive and productive work environment.

5 Review and reflect

The final step is to review and reflect on the delegation process and outcome. You should assess how well the task was completed, and what were the benefits and challenges of delegating it. You should also solicit feedback from the person you delegated to, and learn from their experience and perspective. You should identify what worked well and what can be improved, and apply the lessons learned to future delegations. You should also share your insights and best practices with your team and peers, and foster a culture of delegation and collaboration.

Delegating tasks effectively is a key skill for any executive who wants to achieve more with less. By following these tips, you can delegate tasks effectively to your team members, and leverage their talents, skills, and potential.

Delegate is not an option. Take part of the problem directly to get it resolved undestanding the options available . But of course, take actions with a workgroup that collaborate you and will help to maximize time for the project or situation.
