Delegation: When to Delegate, Who to Delegate to

Written by Kate Hufstetler


There are some very simple guides for delegation. Most people delegate based on not wanting to do something. They simply walk out to their secretary orrepparttar closest sub-ordinate and ask them to do/finishrepparttar 104331 project. These people use delegation as a means to schlep off unwanted work. Almost all work within any organization is important. That does not mean that all work with in an organization is A) fun to do or B) exciting to do or C) challenging or D) any particular person's favorite thing to do. So when can you / should you consider using delegation? Wellrepparttar 104332 obvious is whenrepparttar 104333 pile of work has grown to large to be accomplished accurately and in a timely manner. However, you may also want to use delegation at other times. * When stress has gotten to a level beyond manageability. * When you repeatedly stall or avoid specific duties. * When you know other people could do a specific task much faster & far more proficiently than you will manage to complete it. * finally, you may also choose to use delegation simply as a tool of motivation for employees that show potential for advancement. Sometimes delegation ends up like an old fashioned day of bartering: "If you do 'XYZ' ; I will take care of 'ABC'. With this type of arrangement both parties may be much happier with their work performance and productivity that day / week.

You might like to know that I haven’t always emphasized this relationship with self, component in my consulting practice. For a while I thought it was too personal, but time and again I saw that it was atrepparttar 104338 root of whyrepparttar 104339 initial plan didn’t work.

The turning point came for me after I had been consulting with a recreational vehicles parts manufacturing company. The company had earned $1,000,000 in profit in its third year, so all seemed reasonably well. That is until I got inside.
