How To Delegate Work To Others? | Custom Training and eLearning Blog - 0 views

  • If work has been delegated to you, make sure that your manager gives you feedback at regular intervals – daily, weekly, or monthly. Delegation does not only mean control, rather it involves coaching and teaching others the ability to manage work as well as people.
  • To make delegation of work successful, managers must be given the freedom to do things their way. If you do not stand back and let them work, you will stifle them.
  •  
    "Delegation happens when a manager allows his assistant to take the initiative to get work done in his absence. If an entrepreneur wants to create a successful business, he/ she must know how much authority should be delegated. The minimum level of delegation of authority to get work done should be to enable the staff to take initiatives and to continue taking care of the daily business in the absence of the manager or entrepreneur."
  •  
    Good advice for managers that describes how to deligate work and coordinate to acceommodate the change.
