BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 24 – EFFECTIVE DELEGATION 2
Today I am following on the discussion on effective delegation and talking about some of the reasons why things can go wrong and outcomes do not turn out as you have planned. I also take a look at the 6 rules of authority and talk about why it is so very important to get this right when you want to ensure effective delegation.
This session glances at some more reasons why people shun away from responsibility and authority to act, fearing the outcome may go against them in the long run. Getting to the point of total agreement as to what is expected on both sides can ensure that the mutual understanding results in an outcome that is good for both parties.
If you want to delegate tasks, therefore saving yourself time and worry, freeing up your daily planning to focus your attention on more important or financially advancing tasks, then having a clear and conscious understanding of the 6 rules of authority will ensure that misunderstandings do not take place and that your very important tasks can be delegated without backlash.
By giving attention today to the rules of delegation and understanding that in the outset it is your responsibility to know how effective delegation works, you will ensure a more positive outcome for yourself and your agent of action and that neither of you have to spend extra time putting things right because you both got it right first time.
