LawsonCG-Delegate Effectively - 0 views

  • Don't dismiss delegation as an outmoded concept that's part of the "command-and-control" model of years past. You may not believe in rigid, hierarchical organizations.

  • Beware of giving the following excuses to avoid delegating: "It takes too long to explain." "No one on my staff is capable of doing it." "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself." "My people are already overworked. I can't dump anything more on them."

  • flexibility means people will need better and perhaps unconvenational ways to communicate to help them establish goals and feel engaged at work.
  • What’s your value proposition to a member or customer, particularly a younger one, who may be engaged in your association’s industry during only half the workday, or a fifth of it?
  • In 2016, 31 percent of remote workers were doing so 80 percent of the time.

  • Gallup doesn’t mince words on this issue: “For fully remote employees, managers are falling down on the fundamental aspects of performance development—those that are based on the manager-employee relationship—and perhaps increasing the risk that the employee will leave for a better opportunity to progress with another company.” But the fix isn’t particularly complex—it’s just a matter of building in more of those conversations with remote workers of all stripes.
  • always-on system of employee feedback instead of the annual-evaluation check-in method

#Ideas17: Take Risks and Create "Unmistakable Work": Associations Now - 0 views

  • We become indispensable and invaluable to our organization because what we provide goes so far beyond bullet points or a job description or a job title,” Rao said. “When nobody does what you do in the way you do it … the competition and all the standard metrics by which you’re typically measured no longer matter, because the factors that distinguish your work are so personal that nothing or nobody can replicate it.
