Learn in Just 10 Minutes...How to Delegate. A Step-by-Step Guide to Effective Delegation

HOW TO DELEGATE

Do you want more time in your day to do the things only you can do?
Do you want some time to do the work that you know (if only you had the time!) would get you some great results? You know the type of thing â€“ talking to clients, planning, building stronger relationships with your employees, thinking, getting a life!

Iâ€™ve taught hundreds of managers how to delegate. Iâ€™ve managed dozens of employees â€“ and successfully delegated to most of them. Hereâ€™s how you can too

This book is for managers who want a proven step by step guide to delegation â€“ and who only have 10 minutes to read it

There are only 7 steps to effective delegation and we are going to show you how to do each of them. Youâ€™ll learn how to:

1. Decide which tasks to delegate using our quick and simple â€˜elimination exerciseâ€™
2. Identify which employee to delegate to using our â€˜6 Criteriaâ€™ check list
3. Decide on the level of delegation (big surprise â€“ you donâ€™t have to delegate all the task)
4. Define the performance standard for the delegation with one key question
5. Have the delegation discussion â€“ a step by step approach to:
a) Describing the task
b) Selling the delegation â€“ including delegation that is not developmental for the employee!
c) Gaining agreement
d) Agreeing what support is needed
e) Agreeing monitoring methods
6. Use a quick strategy for communicating the delegation â€“ and how to â€˜walk the talkâ€™
7. Make the delegation â€˜stickâ€™
Why Delegate?
You might be wondering - whatâ€™s the purpose of delegation? In short, itâ€™s a way of you finding some time to focus on the things that only you can do â€“ activities that will get you great results, if only you had the time to do them.

Like what? Here are some examples of â€˜high valueâ€™ activities that managers tell us they would love to get involved in (if only they had the time);
1. Thinking / reflecting / challenging = driving improvements
2. Being proactive â€“ developing contacts = gaining more new business
3. Building better relationships with staff
4. Debriefing better = identifying better working practices / learning
5. Planning
6. Focussed and forward looking activities = generating more value / revenue
7. Networking = generating more new business
8. Time for clients â€“ socialising so building stronger relationships
9. More research
10. Sharing knowledge
11. Personal development
12. Getting some â€˜work / lifeâ€™ balance!

Hereâ€™s a simple principle. If you want to focus more on the types of activities that will get you great results â€“ high value activities - youâ€™ve just got to find yourself some extra time. A very effective way to gain yourself that time is by delegating some of the work you currently undertake. And, of course, delegation not only gains you time but also (done well) it improves employee performance and satisfaction
