Many leaders don’t understand what delegating means. 🤷♀️
At a recent workshop, someone mentioned they had to look up the word delegating.
Lots of leaders don’t realize that delegating is just part of leading.
It is entrusting a task or responsibility to another person.
It’s about giving a task or responsibility to someone else, not avoiding your own work.
It means organizing work for everyone.
A leader’s responsibility is to assign work to their team and help them grow.
Delegating tasks doesn’t make them a bad 😈 leader.
What I’m saying is, if you understand this, you can improve your leadership.
Plus, your team can learn new skills and grow too.
If the subordinate is not motivated to do the task, it is the responsibility of the leader to motivate that person.
Before you motivate, have a clear vision of how the task looks when it is finished 🏁.
✍️ Write down: who will do it, when do you need it to be done, what is the outcome, what will be a successfully done task.
And don’t skip on details. Be as clear as possible.
