Delegating for Shared Success™
No other responsibility distinguishes a supervisory role from others more than delegating tasks and projects. Delegation is the linchpin between employees, their leaders, and results. When poorly executed, delegation negatively impacts productivity and leaves employees feeling frustrated and set up for failure. On the other hand, when done well, delegation taps in to the full capability of others, building confidence and enhancing
supervisor-employee relationships. With sound delegation practices in place, supervisors can focus their attention on value-added activities like removing performance barriers, planning, and continuous improvement.
