31. KnowingWhentoDelegate
Delegating can be especially helpful in the following situations:
When the task offers valuable training to an employee
When an employee has more knowledge or experience related to the task than you
When the task is recurring and all employees should be prepared or trained
When the task is of low priority and you have high priority tasks that require
your immediate attention
ToWhomShouldYouDelegate?

The current work load of theemployee
The employee’s strengths and weaknesses
The training and experience levels of theemployee

done

47. DelegationStressors
Loss of control?
If you train your subordinates to
apply the same criteria as you would
yourself, then they will be exercising
your control on yourbehalf.
48. DelegationStressors
Too much time spent on explaining the tasks
The amount of time spent up front is, in fact, great. But, continued use of
delegation may free you up to complete more complex tasks and/or gain
you some time foryourself.

Managers and employees must be fully supportive of the
delegation efforts in order to be successful

any pitfalls that might otherwise be overlooked
Lack of communication
Communicating the plan in a clear and precise manner
prevents errors caused bymiscommunication
51. DelegationObstacles(cont’d.)
Fear of relinquishing control
Management may be resistant to delegating at first, but
delegation can build trust and morale among managers and
employees
Micromanagement
Micromanagement prevents employees from completing
their assigned tasks and defeats the purpose of delegation
52. SignsofMicromanagement
Micromanaging occurs when a manager assigns a task
to an employee, but prevents the employee from
successfully completing the task on his/her own
Micromanagers usually:
Resist delegating
Prevent employees from making decisions
Revoke tasks after they have beenassigned
Avoid letting employees work independently
53. Howto AvoidMicromanagement
Clearly define the roles andresponsibilities of
managers and employees
Create a written plan andtimeline
Include scheduled meetings and evaluations rather
than frequent ‘check ins’ that can be viewed as
micromanaging
Allow employees and managers to openly
communicate any concerns or questions they may
have
56. Consequencesof poordelegating
Information and decision-making not shared by the group
Leaders become tired out
When leaders leave groups, no one has experience to carry
on
Group morale becomes low and people become frustrated
and feel powerless
The skills and knowledge of the group/organization are
concentrated in a fewpeople
New members don’t find any ways to contribute to the
work of the group.
