Leadership – Delegation Series

Leadership – Delegation Series

If you have a task greater than you can handle on your own, then you need to delegate. Not a choice many of us choose to make, but one we can all learn. This post will be the first in a series on this task and how to best accomplish it. There will be 4 posts in total, but this is the first and covers Why, that is, the Benefits, Preparation and Choosing the right people for the job.

So let's start with the Whys.

The first is obvious. The task if too big for one person. Or maybe is beyond the skills of that one person.

The second is that there is more chance of success because using other people brings in extra skill-sets, and added enthusiasm.

The third WHY is that delegation gives the leaders in an organisation the chance to develop the latent strengths and talents of their members, giving the organisation a greater pool of skill and potential leaders.
