What is delegation?
Delegation (or passing down) is the
partnership of authority and not responsibility
to another person (normally from a manager
to a subordinate) to carry out specific
activities.
The opposite of delegation
The opposite of effective delegation is
micromanagement, where a manager
provides too much input, direction, and
review of delegated work.
Proper delegation is good, because
it can...
• Save money and time
• Help in building skills
• Motivate people
Stages of delegation
Delegated tasks
Delegated tasks must be:
• Specific
• Measurable
• Agreed
• Realistic
• Time bound
• Ethical
• Recorded
Interview with Bill Gates
‘Hard work, without a doubt, is more important to my
success. But not just my hard work. What really matters is
the hard work of people who come to work with me.
Over a period of years, when you're in business building
complex projects and working with customers, success
is much more a result of dedication and persistence
than brilliance.
There is no secret to success. But certain attitudes and
approaches contribute to success. For example,
knowing the value of time and such.‘
