Are Your Delegation Skills in Balance Delegation VS Abdication

Are Your Delegation Skills in Balance Delegation VS Abdication

You are faced with a project that you just don't have the time, skills, or interest in doing - what now? Why, delegate of course! Give the project to someone else who is interested in doing that type of work and has the necessary skills. If you work alone or have a small staff,Mbt Sandalen Katika Brown Frauen, outsource the project. Now all your worries are over, right? Not exactly.

If you have ever read Michael Gerber's The E-Myth Revisited,Nike LunarGlide 2 løbesko grå sort Lime, you are probably familiar with Management by Abdication rather than by Delegation. If you haven't read it,Nike Air Footscape Woven Grå Sort, I highly recommend it.

Basically,HOGAN NERO CERBIATTO DONNA VALENCIA, this principle says that there are those that delegate authority, supplying adequate information,MBT Changa Schuhe, resources, and oversight to ensure successful completion of the project. Then there are those that abdicate accountability - they pass off the project and run, much too busy to be bothered with it any more. (There are also those that pass off a project,Frauen MBT Kesho MJ schwarz Shoes Mary Jane, but never really let go,Hogan Scuro Uomo Interactive Scuro, but that is a topic for another issue.)

When I read this, I was reminded of projects my colleagues and I have worked on in the past and was amazed to realize that many were abdicated rather than delegated:

The client's time and expense report to be completed without input on hours worked or where expenses were to be applied.
The events to be planned without a known budget (make it nice,get more, but not extravagant).
The website content to be developed without an explanation of the approach for reaching the target audience.
The newsletter to be produced without guidance on content or audience.

These are just a few examples. The executives in these instances weren't awful to work with - in fact many were wonderful! They were just busy and harried and wanted the overload to go away.

Remember, sometimes you have to invest some time and effort up front in order to achieve the balance you desire. Spend a little time outlining your project. What is the desired outcome? What is the budget? Often,Billige Online Herre Nike Free 3.0 v3 hvid grå sorte sko, an executive doesn't care how the job gets done, but if there is a specific process to be followed,Dame Nike Air Presto Blå Sort løbesko, make sure the person you delegate to understands that. Also, make sure the person you delegate to has access to the resources needed to get work done. And, most important, make yourself available for periodic progress reviews to ensure the project is on track and that questions are answered.相关的主题文章:
