We are at New Team Leader Tip #10 today. Tip #10 gets you to think about what you want to, and can, delegate. Delegation is an area both new and experienced team leaders struggle with. Matching the task to the team member, being clear on what success will look like, and making sure that you both check in around progress are three areas which are critical for successful delegation.
Questions to ask yourself right now include:
What are the tasks I can delegate?
What are the tasks that I can only do?
Looking at my list of things to be delegated, what's a priority?
Who would benefit from doing this?
What support would they need in order to complete it?
What resources do they need?
What authority or responsibility do they need?
What do I need to share about how it fits into the bigger picture?
What do I need to share about how it is important and what happens if it is not completed successfully?
What are the key milestones?
When will I check in?
I'll be putting up a new Pulse post on Linked In around Delegation this week. I hope that you will enjoy it!
Have a great start to your week,
Jennifer
