1. How to delegate
to people you don’t manage

2. You have an important task where could
use other people’s support
Think a rough plan how to get there - this
is “your idea” or “your vision”

3. In today’s world people have increasing discretion on what they do
This is the opportunity for you to get people involved even if they do
not report to you

4. Nobody wants to be delegated tasks by you
But some may be willing to be part of your vision
Use their discretionary time for this

5. Ask what they want to get out of that, maybe:
✴A challenge that furthers their skills
✴Be part of an achievement
✴Or recognition and appreciation

6. 1. Don’t “delegate” - listen:
✴Don’t try to push through your initial idea at any cost
✴Let others contribute to the idea and vision
✴Be open-minded, put your ego in the background and listen
✴Disengage others early and you will get no support

7. 2. Don’t “delegate” - collaborate:
✴You are not the boss
✴Treat your supporters as peers
✴Remain the leader of this pack by
showing your commitment
✴By being a role-model
✴By putting your own extra-time into it

8. 3. Don’t “delegate” - energise:
✴Be a role-model
✴Show your commitment
✴Show the path and vision
✴Remove obstacles
✴Energise others

9. 4. Don’t “delegate” - share:
✴Share the good stuff, not
just the boring
✴Share the interesting tasks
✴Share your vision
✴Share the glory
✴Share information
✴But also share the
responsibility and
accountability

10. 5. Don’t “delegate” - empower:
✴Give people wiggle room and accept occasional failure
✴It is better to fail often initially so long you are willing to learn
✴You will be surprised how great the results will be

11. 6. Don’t “delegate” - support:
✴You want others to support your great ideas?
✴Support others! Reciprocate the favor
✴Take time to get them closer to their goals
✴You will build rapport and an ongoing alliance
✴Build a powerful informal team that solves the departments biggest problems

12. 7. Don’t “delegate” - communicate:
✴Communicate your great idea and see how people react
✴Get support from people you hadn’t expected
✴Check the reasons behind criticism:
✴Is there a flaw in your ideas?
✴Does someone feel threatened (involve them and
leverage their knowledge)?

13. 8. Don’t “delegate” - do:
✴Key to delegation is not to selfishly give boring tasks to others
✴Sometimes do the less exciting parts of a project yourself
✴This will dramatically boost your credibility, integrity
✴And unlock other’s energy that they were holding back until they saw you
are willing to do some grunt work yourself

14. 9. Don’t “delegate” - appreciate:
✴Acknowledge the contribution of others
✴Appreciate other’s contributions and give appropriate feedback
✴Honest appreciation builds rapport - an essential ingredient to team success

15. THE BEST
Companies increasingly promote people that show natural
leadership talents. Being able to NOT delegate but LEAD will
pave the road for your future success.

16. PRACTICE
These tips are a starting point, just like any other skill you will need to develop
them over time by deliberate practice, reflection, improvement and repeat.
