Delegation as a Learning
Strategy
When
so many organizations have to do more with less, it is no
wonder that employees react with trepidation when their
managers talk about delegation. It is tough for employees to
get excited about taking on new tasks when they feel they are
working as hard as they can. In the face of such resistance,
managers often stop delegating. However, they need to realize
that delegation itself is not the problem. Done properly, it
can be not only an ideal tool for training employees, but also
the key to making room in a manager's overloaded
schedule.

Tips for
Teaching Through Delegation
Although the obstacles to delegating effectively can
seem insurmountable, learning to be an expert at it is really
a matter of observing a few simple rules. Approaching
delegation as a learning opportunity pays off in the long run
with improved learning and increased
retention.
Tackle
Procrastination Before
Delegation
There
is not a manager around who would not admit to occasionally
putting off until tomorrow work that should have been
accomplished today. Unfortunately, when we wait until the
eleventh hour to start a project we often end up delegating
not only the work but also the panic that goes with it. Before
focusing on how to delegate more effectively, take a moment to
address procrastination. It just might eliminate your need to
delegate.
