Delegating

Maximize Team Traction by Levering All Talent

Managers who live by the old adage, “If you want something done right, then do it yourself” haven’t learned a crucial part of management: effective delegation.

Delegating projects and responsibilities can take some time, and it requires clear communication, but when done effectively, delegating brings a wealth of value to any team: It balances the workload and strengthens the bonds between team members. Delegating demonstrates that a manager or team leader trusts the team member, and it encourages development of team members’ skills. It can also make team members feel like their jobs are important and meaningful to the success of the business unit. However, to achieve these results, managers and team leaders must delegate effectively.

Purpose

The Vital Learning Delegating™ program teaches supervisors, team leaders and managers how to develop team members in order to strengthen their commitment to the success of the organization. A properly delegated task teaches team members accountability and responsibility, so employees feel more a part of the team and of the entire organization.

Delegating helps managers master the skills needed to effectively assign work to others. By learning to clearly communicate expectations and encourage participation and involvement, managers can use effective delegation to develop team members’ skills and abilities.

The Delegating program provides team leaders and managers with the tools necessary to develop messages that communicate the “what” and the “why” of every delegated task. Managers must focus on ensuring that an individual understands what is required for the project, which helps facilitate a successful result: The work is done correctly, and the individual gains a new experience that increases his/her confidence and responsibility.
