The Fine Art of Delegation

Delegation Skills

如果你一天中找不到足够的时间来完成工作,也许你没有有效地授权。

This article contains ten tips to make any manager a more effective delegator.

Delegation and Delegating

In today's busy world, one of the best ways to get more time for those top-priority projects is by delegating some of the lower-priority work to someone else. (If you're able to eliminate it, that's even better.)

Now, I don't know about you, but many people are reluctant or afraid to delegate some of their work.

这些理由听上去熟悉吗?

  • 没有人能像我一样做好这项工作。
  • If I delegate this work, there's no guarantee that it'll get done properly.
  • If someone else does this better than I do, my job may no longer be secure.
  • 我没时间教别人怎么做。
  • I want to be seen as a nice guy, not a slave driver.

You're Part of a Team

When we try to help each other out, it's called teamwork. In a well-run organisation, everyone works together as a team.

Different jobs are performed by different team members and there are various levels of authority and responsibility. But the team was formed for one purpose: to get the job done successfully and help everybody go home a winner.

Think of yourself as a member of a team and you'll have a lot less trouble with the concept of delegating.

Ten Delegating Tips

以下是十个授权技巧,它们将为您节省时间并为您提供所需的帮助:

1. Ask For Help

That means asking for help, don't demand.

2. Clear Purpose

确保此人清楚地了解任何授权工作的目的,并知道您期望的结果。花点时间把它说清楚,具体解释一下你在找什么。鼓励提问。

3. Give Information

Give the person all the information and other resources they'll need to complete the project.

4设定切实可行的最后期限

Set a realistic deadline that's agreeable and workable for both of you.

5. Be Available

Keep yourself available for questions and when necessary, ask for periodic progress reports.

6. Offer Help and Assistance

不要以为一个人能够在没有你任何额外帮助或帮助的情况下完成委派的任务。

7. Have a Good Attitude

永远不要给一个人你自己不熟悉的任务。而且,不要在下午5点把一堆文件扔到别人的桌子上,然后说,“我想在明天早上之前完成这件事。”这可能是叛变的理由。

8. Encourage Initiative

Give the person the opportunity to be imaginative and take the initiative.

9.主动提供帮助

如果你觉得工作做得不好或不正确,就参与进来并给予帮助。花点时间教这个人如何用正确的方法去做。

10赞美

当这个项目完成后,对做得好给予很多表扬和赞扬。

跟踪委托工作

把工作交给别人并不意味着你可以忘记它。在你的待办事项清单上的项目旁边写上对方的姓名首字母,并在日历上输入双方商定的截止日期。

Don't cross that job off your list until it's been successfully completed.

If you're delegating a part of a larger project, you need to make doubly sure that the work is completed on time; otherwise, the whole project may be delayed.

Delegating Builds Confidence

Delegating is a confidence builder, for both the delegatee and the delegator. With practice, you'll gain confidence in your own ability to delegate and in your colleague’s ability to complete the work.

你的同事们将更加确信他们处理这项工作的能力。你们都会对自己为团队做出的重要贡献感到满意,也会对公司的成功感到满意。

The ability to delegate effectively has a double payoff. You'll save time, which you can spend on other important projects, and you'll send a signal to your colleagues and superiors that you're an effective manager of your time and an excellent team player. . . maybe even captain material.
