The Art of Delegating

Summary

In order to be a truly effective leader, you must be comfortable delegating work. Because there is a fine line between delegating and “dumping,” it is important to follow specific steps that make assignments clear and create a sense of ownership among team members while ensuring quality work. Effective delegation helps develop team members and achieve specific organizational outcomes. Learn how to identify who is ready for delegation using a reliable and collaborative process, and you will be prepared to determine “who will do what, when, and to what standard” in your day-to-day role.
