Process of Effective Delegation

Process of Effective Delegation

Delegation is one of the most important management skills. Delegation is a two-way process in such a way that it helps you in helping your manager in delegating a task or new responsibility. Good delegation saves you time, develops your people, prepares a successor, and motivates. Poor delegation will cause you frustration, demotivates and confuses the other person, and fails to achieve the task or purpose itself. So it's a management skill that's worth improving.

Delegation is a very helpful aid for succession planning, personal development - and seeking and encouraging career pathing. It's how we grow in the job - delegation enables us to gain experience to take on higher responsibilities.

Effective delegation is crucial for management and leadership succession. The main task of a manager in a growing, thriving organization is ultimately to develop a successor. When this happens everyone can move on to higher things. When it fails to happen the succession and progression becomes dependent on bringing in new people from outside.

As a giver of delegated tasks you must ensure delegation is done properly. Just as significantly, as the recipient of delegated tasks you have the opportunity to "manage upwards" and suggest improvements to the delegation process and understanding - especially if your manager could use the help. Managing the way you receive and agree to do delegated tasks is one of the central skills of "managing upwards".

Good write up Neil. This is something I do already. And I have met managers who do not know how to delegate properly.
