| As
a leader, you just can't do it all. To be really effective,
be willing and able to delegate the projects and details
that others can learn to do.
1.
Clearly define the task. Describe the results, not
the process.
2.
Give enough authority to accomplish the task. If
you're hesitant, assign the job in stages, then observes
progress.
3.
Monitor the tasks, but don't hover. Give people
room to operate and the freedom to use their skills.
4.
Give feedback along the way. Ask how things are
going, then give people the chance to express themselves.
When they feel their opinions counts, it is a lot easier
to make "course adjustments."
5.
Reward and recognize effort as well as results. Your
slow starters need as much or more encouragement as
your high achievers. Keep them all motivated with judicious
praise.
Through
skillful delegation, you expand your effectiveness and
increase your support base of loyal followers.
