The Powerful Art of Delegation

INTRODUCTION

It is said one of the best reasons to delegate tasks to others has to do with the type of business culture a leader hopes to create. Delegation helps to boost team moral, improve efficiency and productivity, and promotes enthusiasm, innovation, and cooperation. All of which are vital to a company’s bottom line.

A 2017 study on time management found that close to half of the 332 companies surveyed were concerned about their employees’ delegation skills. At the same time, only 28 percent of those companies offered any training on the topic. And in an executive leadership study by Stanford University, 72 percent of chief executives said that they either need to improve or are working on improving their delegation skills. For middle managers who need to answer to senior leadership that number is likely higher.

So why is there hesitation? It generally stems from personal insecurity—whether it’s fear of losing time, control, credit, or delegating yourself out of a job. But because delegation only succeeds when you can surrender control of the details and decision-making process to your colleagues, you need to recognize and address those concerns before assigning tasks.
