Lesson 1: Describing futures with clarity<\/h2>\n

Delegation<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve built all of the above in yourself, and by nature built it in your team, you need to understand how to transfer work with the trust to your team, and there comes delegation.<\/h5>\n
Delegation refers to transferring responsibility for a particular task from one person to another. From a leadership perspective, delegation occurs when leaders assign specific tasks to team members. The delegating leadership style works best with people who are both confident and capable.<\/h5>\n
But you need to be careful of how you delegate because, While delegating looks great here are two of the most common obstacles for leaders who don’t know how to delegate:<\/h5>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t The always busy leader
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Let’s face it, for many newly promoted leaders, delegation is a big issue
Not delegating at all will result in being overwhelmed and always busy focusing on improving your team or your department.
You have this thought that people can’t do it as well as you and eventually, they won’t because you’re not giving them a chance to.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t The constant nagging leader
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Having very frequent comments. What is the point of trusting someone to do something, if the leader always gives many many inputs on how things should go?
For example telling the delegate to do many changes to their way of getting the tasks done can be considered for the team member can be interpreted as a lack of trust which can lead to setbacks in both task-related skills and motivation.
Giving guidance is structured in the shape of a feedback session after specific periods, or when it’s absolutely necessary while micromanagement is giving comments about every step the person takes, and trust me, it’s not part of the delegation.
If you have to micromanage the delegate, then you’ve picked the wrong delegate because it means that you don’t have enough trust in the person to do the right thing at the right time.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Be patient and trust them
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Give the delegate time, they might need to understand more and be prepared mentally for being a leader without feeling pressured.
Trust them and make them feel trusted, you don’t have to do everything yourself, trust that they can do things themselves as well in their own unique way without forcing your way, trust that they are capable and tell them that.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Be a mentor not a judge
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Don’t make them feel like they can’t come to you because they are afraid of your reaction, open a clear and easy communication channel where they can approach you with their ideas and concerns.
Being a mentor also means that you need to give them sufficient training to do their work, the proper training will even make you feel better about delegating.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Know your team
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Don’t set your team up to fail, this only happens when you don’t know the team member’s strengths and weaknesses and you put more than necessary pressure on the weaknesses that they break.
Workaround both of them, people feel most valued when they feel their progress using their strengths and weaknesses.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Transparency
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/summary>\n
Be clear on what you are looking for at the end of the delegation, what is the end goal? What is the expectation?
Write them down in a shared space between you and them where they can revisit it whenever they want to remember the target or when they are confused.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
\n\n\t\t\t\t\t Accept feedback
\n\t\t\t<\/path><\/svg>

If it’s your first time delegating, the best person to get insights on how you can improve is your delegate
Ask them how they felt during the delegation and what would help them to be better.
These insights will be your own guiding stars for different areas to improve, some of them might be areas that you haven’t even considered before.<\/h5>\n<\/details>\n
