Delegation
Why Delegation? Delegation is
 More than just assigning work and makes everyone accountable for results.
 One of the Key Leadership Qualities - No one becomes a great leader who wants to do all by himself
 Essential, if you want to leverage your time as manager.
 A day-to-day activity of a Manager
Effective Delegation - Tips
• Delegate responsibility, not work.
• Show the “Big picture“. Inform delegatee
that how this task will align with
Organizational Goal
• Establish clearly the parameters, conditions
before delegation and deadlines if any
• Delegate and give authority.
• Offer guidance and advice without interfering.
• Build in accountability, like timelines and
reporting frequency etc.
• Provide back-up and support when necessary.
• Check the progress and give positive and
corrective feedback.
• Give full credit to delegatee if task is
successful. If not, don’t use him/her as a
scapegoat.
