What Matters When Delegating
When delegating tasks to your team, it’s important to be clear about the goal you want to achieve.
Many managers are specific about the steps to take but vague on intent. This is a mistake.
Just because you’ve achieved good results by following a certain procedure, don’t assume that everybody who works for you must approach projects your way.
It’s much more effective to make sure they understand the ultimate purpose of the job you’re asking them to do, and the time and money limits attached to it. You can explain what’s worked for you. But then get out of their way and let them get the job done without your constant interference.
Do you have trouble with this advice? It may be because you have trouble with delegating itself. If so, you will accomplish much less in your career than you could if you learned the value of letting your people develop their own methods.
“Tattooed on everyone’s head.”
“This quote from Michael’s article should be tattooed on everyone’s head and taught from preschool on: ‘If it’s going to be worth less after you buy it, or if you’ll have forgotten all about it by this time next year, pay cash.
That includes stereos, vacations, dinners out, clothes… you get the idea. Use credit only for things that are going to appreciate in value — such things as houses, investments, or an income-producing side business.’”
