For any leadership position, it is important that managers learn to delegate tasks. You cannot and should not do everything yourself. If you do not learn to delegate effectively at every management level, you will stall in your management career.

As a manager, learning how to delegate work is not as easy as it first seems. In my first leadership role, I quickly learned that simply telling a team member to do x, y, or z rarely got us the desired result.

Learning how to delegate work effectively is less about the traditional traffic control view and more about knowing what and how to delegate and then taking the time to support, mentor, coach and follow up.

Delegating effectively and making sure the team member is set up for success is an essential part of achieving great team performance and consistently performing as a team and as a manager or leader. What you invest, you get back with great interest!

We'll walk you through 9 key steps to delegating tasks as a leader or manager. This will help you improve your delegation skills and work more effectively with your team.

Have fun delegating even more effectively!
