Ownership

DELEGATION
WHY ONE SHOULD DELEGATE?
8
WHAT DELEGATION IS NOT?
9
ENJOY THE FRUITS OF DELEGATION…
10
THE 10 STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL
DELEGATION
1. Define the task
2. Select individual
3. Assess ability and training need
4. Explain WHY
5. State required results
6. Identify required resources
7. Agree on a schedule
8. Support and communicate
9. Provide feedback on results
10.REPEAT THE PROCESS…
11
Remember…
Work can be delegated but “Not
the Accountability”
Delegate Authority along with
responsibility
Don’t Dump the Work
Don’t take the “Fun Part” out of
the delegated job
Delegate through subordinates not
around them
Provide Adequate Support
12
Push Decision Making Downward
13
Push Decision Making Downward
Less Meetings and of course fewer Presentations
Increase Creativity and Collective Intelligence of
the Organisation
Reduce time wastage
Increased Production Pace
Personnel become more responsible and feel as
part of organisation
Frees Senior to plan, focus on priorities and
pursue new opportunities
Ease out identification and Grooming of future
leaders
Remember…It doesn’t mean firing a bullet from
Somebody else shoulder
14
TOLERATE MISTAKES
15
Tolerate Mistakes
Failure is a prerequisite to invention
Leniency toward mistake-Gravity of mistake and
person who commit
To avoid frequent mistakes in organisation-Be
judicious in handing over responsibility to
subordinates
Never take it personal- Guide your subordinate and
address the root of the problem
Zero Error Syndrome- Poor performers will recognise
a safe harbour, good performers will become
disillusioned and leave/become poor performers.
Bottom line- tolerate mistakes that are unintentionally
and honestly done, and make the erring subordinate
understand the consequences of these mistakes.
16
CREATE A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP
17
Create a Sense of Ownership
Compelling Mission motivate people to
have a sense of ownership
Transparency cultivates Sense of
Ownership
Tolerating freeloaders undermines a
sense of ownership. Why committed
persons should act like an owner when
drifters (dead weight) is ignored?
Bureaucracy goes down…Standards go
up
People feel valued…Cogs in a machine
feel used
18
WHAT EMPOWERMENT IS NOT?
19
What Empowerment is NOT?
Throwing out the “Rule
Book”
Bypassing everyone who will
say “No”
Doing the “Fun Part” of
someone else’s Job
Freedom to unilaterally make
decision that impact others
