Developing delegation skill -Logical part of delegation

Developing delegation skill


As we discussed last week on the beliefs and fears holding us from delegating the task, let us understand the logical part of the delegation.

I mentioned my senior and his outstanding delegation skill. I observed the typical pattern in his delegation approach, and that made him good at delegating and completion of the task on time.

Whenever any new organizational tasks come across through him, he used to plan to whom to delegate. Once he identified the right person, he thoroughly explained the importance of the task responsibility, things to be done, and clarified all the doubts to the teammate. While his teammate was executing the job, the senior person regularly used to check about the progress and guide the teammate. Once the task was over, he used to personally thank the person as if the job was his own task.

It looks like the senior person applied a common-sense approach, and it was proven right most of the time, as I observed. He used to be very cool, good in time management, and above all, the team enjoyed to work with him, and I attribute the result due to his structured delegation methodology.
 
The logical approach in successful delegation is as follows
  • First, determine whether the task is to be delegated or to be done by self-based on priority and competence.
  • Identify the right person in the organization/function by mentally calculating the capability, work distribution, and other priorities.
  • Without an ego, explain the person about the task and educate the execution methodology
  • Periodically monitor and guide the people during execution to give confidence and moral support
  • Acknowledge the people’s contribution
 For effective delegation skills, we need to be aware of the emotional and logical part and practice it!
