Successful delegation and monitoring
When delegating you want to be sure that you are empowering your employees.Utilize the strengths that your employees possess and acknowledge that it will take more than just you knowledge to accomplish tasks in the greatest good for the company.You want to assign responsibility based on authority.In the end you are responsible for the work that is done, so be sure that the items of most importance are assigned to individuals who have had the experience and have earned the reputation that they can be trusted.This does not necessarily mean that the second in command is always the one that you should consider first when delegating.Within an organization, the individuals who are closest to the work are generally the best ones for the job.These people will generally have the most intimate knowledge of how a particular aspect of the organization works and relying on that knowledge will increase efficiency and develop the employee himself. Successful delegation involves monitoring that is more like supporting the employee than it is checking up or micromanaging the employee.Your role is to ensure the project's success and you can do that by providing your team members with the resources that they need and the open communication that they need to ensure that they are remaining on track.You want to facilitate trust by allowing your employees to control his own methods and processes.Your role as manager is to be involved with making sure that a certain outcome is accomplished rather than on detailing exactly how the work is to be done every step of the way. You build motivation and commitment within the members of your team by being committed to shifting responsibility to the individuals who have been delegated to and not allowing for the upward delegation of those same responsibilities back to you.You should not need to provide all of the answers.The employees need to know that their successes will impact not only personal growth but also future opportunities, possible recognition, and other positive consequences.
