The Art of Delegation

It is common to think that the guaranteed way to meet business goals is to accomplish as many tasks as possible ourselves. Unfortunately, many end up working longer, delivering projects late and with lower quality. The simple truth is that many tasks could be delegated to others more appropriate to the task.

While your efforts may be appreciated, sometimes what can benefit the company more is passing a task to someone else. Delegation helps make meeting your goals easier and faster than you think.

Here are some tips from Metro Offices, a trusted provider of office space and quality workspace solutions in Washington, DC and the surrounding area:

Delegate work to improve efficiency.

Sometimes you encounter a task that does not fall within the area of your expertise or is a better fit for someone else’s skill set. It’s not efficient to take on this task yourself as you’re probably going to spend a considerable amount of time attempting to do it compared with someone who has the required skills. When you give this task to someone else, you save time and are free to move on to other things, perhaps accomplishing more in the process.

Use it as an opportunity to develop your team’s overall skills.

When you delegate tasks, you are given a great chance to pass important skills and know-how to other members of your team. Coaching your members not only allows you to oversee how the task is being done, but you also get to hone your mentoring skills. Equally important, being given new tasks encourages your members to push themselves further and develop their own skills. This can only raise your team’s overall ability to handle new and possibly more complicated tasks in the future.
