Topic of the week: Delegation

Hello readers !

So today is the final update to delegation!

In fact I went a step further than "communications" and even found you some helpful resources on the web to have a look at if you are interested further :o) As well as the strategic thinking approach to delegation

For those of you struggling with your hours per week at around 60 hours a week, I recommend to you this great little e-book offering advice on areas such as:

• Get more done in your job.
  
• Reduce your management headaches.
• Cut down on those 60 hour weeks!
• Have more time to spend with your family.
• Get a far better hit-rate when hiring new staff.
• Reduce the risk of losing your best people.
• Handle your people management with far greater ease.
• Lear how to create long-term motivation in your staff.

Take a little read here if you are interested further

I recently purchased it but haven't finished it yet, so far its very interesting !

Remember Delegation is empowering ! It helps to save time and money, builds skills and helps to keep your employees motivated as they feel trusted and provide you vital support for busy periods and holidays. 

Consider it a partnership, but remember you remain responsible for the delegated work.  Take time in your delegation as it can have the opposite effect of causing frustration or confusion if not done properly.

Avoid micro management, of checking the details as they are being done or providing too much details on the individual steps if you can avoid it, you want the employee to be able to input and maybe even help you find a quicker, simple or better laid out way of completing the task on your behalf.

All this can help enhance your reputation not only within the team but also as a well thought of leader amongst your piers and colleges and above and can help you achieve a 'normal' 40 or close hour week.

I highly recommend now that you delegate yourself some rest on the week and come back at chopping the trees fresh on Monday morning !

For me I'm taking a small beer as a nice close to the quarter end fun of this week

Take care and have a great weekend!
