This document discusses delegation, including defining delegation, reasons for not delegating, skills needed for delegation, tasks that can be delegated, and how to delegate effectively. It notes that delegation means assigning tasks that are the responsibility of another to perform in order to get help and share work. Managers should plan delegation in advance, consider the guidance needed, establish reviews, and delegate unnecessary, time-consuming, or cross-departmental tasks. When delegating, the manager should specify objectives, methods, resources, limitations, and get the work done while standing back to allow others to perform.
