Over the past few days I've included a number of resources around delegation you may want to refer to if you are looking for some ideas. At the core of delegation is planning, and the ability to have a good conversation. Conversations are started with great questions. Today's post prompts you with some of questions to consider.
8 Questions to be asking yourself as you think about delegation include:
1. What is important for me to focus on right now? With that in mind, what can I delegate on?
2. Who would benefit, and be able, to take on each task?
3. What support will they need to the successful?
4. What will success look like for each project? How will they know that they are on the mark?
5. How will we check in around the task?
6. What authority and responsibility do I need to provide to them to be successful with the task?
7. What are the lessons learned from taking on the task?
8. With what I have delegated, what space does that free up?
What other questions will you want to keep in mind as you think about delegation?
Have a great week,
