The mere thought of passing the baton to someone can stir up a bit of resistance. However, delegating tasks effectively can ease your workload and help you better achieve your company goals. It\u2019s an essential leadership skill, alongside time management.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, delegation skills aren\u2019t something we\u2019re born with. We need to learn them. Being able to delegate effectively requires breaking down mental barriers and creating the right environment for your task-passing to succeed.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Being busy versus being productive<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As a leader, do you sometimes find you\u2019re doing too much of the day-to-day or transactional stuff? Does it feel like you\u2019re constantly busy but still behind on accomplishing your goals?<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a huge difference between being busy and being productive.<\/p>\n<p>Being productive is about moving the ball a few inches closer to the goal every single day. Busy people, on the other hand, tend to be over-thinkers and have an incredible ability to expand their tasks to the amount of time they have available.<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, busy people tend to be great at \u2018looking busy\u2019 whereas productive people are just \u2018getting it done.\u2019 But how do you get it done? Yes, you\u2019ve guessed it, you need to delegate!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why don\u2019t leaders delegate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to a commonly shared statistic, only 30% of managers believe they are good delegators, and only a third of them are considered one by their team.<\/p>\n<p>Why do leaders struggle? Here are five common reasons you or your leaders may hesitate to delegate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fear of losing control <\/strong>\u2013 If you do it yourself, you do it right, right? Whereas if you give the task to someone else, they may not perform it to the same standard or make decisions you don\u2019t agree with.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lack of trust <\/strong>\u2013 Trust is a crucial part of delegation. If you don\u2019t trust your team members\u2019 abilities or commitment to the task, passing it over to them can seem impossible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Desire to be the expert <\/strong>\u2013 Being an expert in your field can give you a strong sense of identity and satisfaction. If you give tasks away, you might feel like you lose that role as the go-to person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time to train <\/strong>\u2013 You may see the time and effort needed to train someone else as more of a hassle and commitment than just doing it yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Concerns about performance <\/strong>\u2013 If the person you delegate to doesn\u2019t do the job at the expected level, you may be worried this will lead to mistakes and a drop in overall team performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Do any of these sound familiar? Which ones concern you the most?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Short-term pain for long-term gain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>All of these perceived barriers are understandable. However, the benefits of delegation are huge.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, there may be teething problems in the short term as you relinquish your responsibilities to others, and people may not get it \u2018right\u2019 straight away. But when you commit to delegation, it brings long-term benefits, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Better time management<\/strong> \u2013 By delegating effectively, you can focus on strategic planning activities that demand your expertise. You can also allocate your time more efficiently.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Team development <\/strong>\u2013 Delegation is about empowering team members. It enables them to grow and develop new skills. It can also increase their confidence.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved team morale and motivation <\/strong>\u2013 When you delegate and empower team members, you demonstrate trust in their abilities, boosting engagement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More creativity and innovation <\/strong>\u2013 Delegating tasks encourages diverse perspectives and ideas. It also promotes a culture of collaboration.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Greater flexibility and agility <\/strong>\u2013 When tasks and knowledge are shared, you can respond more effectively to changing circumstances and unexpected challenges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Specialisation equals efficiency <\/strong>\u2013 Delegating tasks to individuals with specific skills and expertise ensures that each task is performed by the most qualified person.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less leader burnout <\/strong>\u2013 If you try to do everything yourself, you can burn yourself out. Assigning tasks alleviates the burden and enables a better work\/life balance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Better succession planning <\/strong>\u2013 Delegation is crucial to leadership development and succession planning. It allows potential future leaders to gain experience and the skills needed for higher-level responsibilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These benefits of effective delegation can improve rather than hinder your organisation&#8217;s performance and future growth.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Developing a delegation strategy <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now you know why you should delegate, the big question is: how do you overcome the perceived barriers so you can start dishing out those day-to-day tasks?<\/p>\n<p>Before we answer this, it\u2019s important to highlight the difference between allocation and delegation, as which you do matters.<\/p>\n<p>Allocation is more directive. It\u2019s about getting people to complete tasks. Delegation, on the other hand, is empowering. It\u2019s entrusting a person to a task.<\/p>\n<p>Teams can feel empowered as delegation involves someone else making decisions and being held accountable, not just &#8216;doing&#8217; things.<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to the how. The first step is identifying tasks and deciding what you should delegate. For this, ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Are you the only person who could do this task, or could someone else do it?<\/li>\n<li>Does it require your specific attention for it to be successful?<\/li>\n<li>Will delegating this work help someone learn a new skill?<\/li>\n<li>Do you expect tasks like this to recur in the future?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Answering these questions will help you determine whether a task is delegable and whether delegating it will be beneficial.<\/p>\n<p>Next, consider and map out your team members\u2019 skills, strengths, weaknesses and interests. Then, match the tasks you have allocated as delegable and beneficial to individuals based on their capabilities and development goals.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, there are three key success factors when deciding who to delegate a task to. They must be <strong>capable, coachable <\/strong>and<strong> interested<\/strong>. So make sure they fit the bill.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Tips and strategies for success <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve successfully aligned tasks with people, you need to set up the right environment for success. Here are some musts for making it work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Set clear expectations <\/strong>\u2013 Clearly communicate the objectives, expected outcomes, and any specific guidelines for the task. Plus, set a timeframe and deadline to create a sense of urgency and priority.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Provide adequate training <\/strong>\u2013 Make sure your team members have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform the delegated task. Offer training and resources and be available for questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Balance workloads <\/strong>\u2013 Avoid overloading individuals while leaving others with little to do. Make sure you distribute tasks fairly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Encourage feedback <\/strong>\u2013 Create an open two-way communication channel and welcome feedback on the delegation process so you can make continuous improvements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foster cultural accountability <\/strong>\u2013 Hold each team member accountable for their responsibilities. Encourage a sense of ownership for delegated tasks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promote collaboration <\/strong>\u2013 Urge your team to support each other. Emphasise your shared team goals and how each person\u2019s contribution is vital.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Monitor progress <\/strong>\u2013 When monitoring progress, establish check-in points and address any issues. Only intervene when necessary, avoid micromanaging!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognise and reward success <\/strong>\u2013 Last but not least, acknowledge and celebrate the achievements of individuals who successfully complete delegated tasks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/seedpeopleconsulting.com.au\/workplace-culture-collaboration\/\">The power of workplace culture: fostering team productivity and collaboration<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/seedpeopleconsulting.com.au\/how-to-hold-others-accountable\/\">How to hold others accountable at work<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Trust your team and reap the benefits\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve reached the end, are you ready to spread your delegation wings?
