Hey
guess what, you can’t do it by yourself, unless I am mistaken there is
only one messiah and its not you! Tony, what you are telling me it that
in order to grow my business, grow my department and grow my life I have
to learn how to delegate to others. Yes you got it; you have to empower
others to leverage your time to focus on those activities that are truly
important to your business and your life. In order to assist you we have
put together the following list. Try them you be amazed at the
difference.
Top 10 Ways to Delegate
-
Delegate outcomes,
don’t dump problems, you must recognise the difference.
-
Only delegate to
people who you trust, don’t abdicate and hope for the best…
-
Point out the
consequences to the company/yourself if what you’re delegating isn’t
successfully managed. Sure, you can also include the consequences to
the delegated, but it usually works best for them to get a picture
of what’s at stake.
-
Delegate small
pieces at first; then more as they take up the responsibility. Make
sure that they’ve handled the small pieces PERFECTLY before you give
them more.
-
Install a
reporting system, so that you can catch problems way before they
become a real problem. It’s not a matter of trusting/ not trusting
the delegated, it’s a matter of your wellness/absence of fear. Facts
reassure.
-
Ask the delegated
to develop milestones, midpoints, phases, even if you know what they
should be. Let the delegated create this to increase ownership.
-
Don’t delegate
what should be automated. Before you delegate anything, find out how
to eliminate the step or accountability at all.
-
Don’t delegate
what only you can do right. This is controversial, but we suggest
that you become SO quick/fast at the critical tasks, that you
actually do stuff which traditionally ‘could/should’ be delegated.
-
If you can’t find
good people to delegate to, learn from THAT. It may mean that you’re
not built to delegate, or that you’re a creative type, or that you
just haven’t attracted the right people in your business or life
yet. If that’s the case, just keep doing the stuff yourself-you’re
probably just not ready.
-
Spend 3 times more
time with the delegate than you think you should. They really do
need you. Spend your time being in touch, massaging them or the
process, listening for errors in judgment, removing obstacles, etc.
Don’t delegate it and forget it.
