Delegate More
December 10 2007Erin’s Business Tip Of The Week
Delegate more.
Delegation is one of the most important business skills you should develop. Effective delegation will save you time, allow you to work on what is most important, develop the skills of people around you, and motivate others. When you delegate a task or project, be specific in the outcome desired. Let the recipient of delegated task have the opportunity to learn how to get there on their own. Be sure you have both agreed on the desired outcome. It is important to have metrics and milestones in place so when a person achieves the desired outcome he/she is given recognition for the successful completion of a particular delegated task or given suggested improvements for next time.
