How do I improve my Delegation Skills?

What is Delegation?

Delegating involves working with an employee to establish goals, granting them sufficient authority and responsibility to achieve the goals, often giving them substantial freedom in deciding how the goals will be achieved, remaining available as a resource to help them achieve the goals, assessing their performance (the quality of their effort and attainment of the goals), addressing performance issues and/or rewarding their performance.

When you delegate you still retain responsibility for the attainment of the goals, but choose to achieve the goals by delegating to someone else.

What are the Benefits of Delegation?

Effective delegation can benefit you the manager, the employee, and the business.

Personal Benefits

• Increases your personal power with people
• Increases your personal value to the business
• Develops your leadership skills
• Develops your people enabling them to make more of a contribution to business goals
• Motivates people
• Grooms a successor

Business Benefits:

• Higher quality of work -Delegation can improve quality of work by allowing the employees who have direct knowledge of products and services to make decisions and complete tasks.
• Quality can also improve through enhanced employee motivation - because employees feel personally accountability for the outcome, even though responsibility ultimately rests with the individual who made the delegation.
