How to Delegate Effectively"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Whether it’s in work or even at home, more often than not, I hear the same five words: \u201cI need to delegate more.\u201d Then, immediately afterward, they say, \u201cBut I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anybody who will understand my work, take it as seriously as I do, and do a great job.\u201d

As a result, nothing gets delegated and they are left doing everything for themselves.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Delegate<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The problem is not a lack of capable and committed people willing to help. It\u2019s that people simply don\u2019t know how to delegate and are afraid to let go, even a little. So they assume there\u2019s no way forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, someone can be great at delegating in one area, but not as natural in others. They may even enjoy the actual task, but it still takes time and creative energy they could spend on the reason they went into business in the first place.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many factors come into play – trust<\/strong> is a big one. Trust that the other person will follow through, do it well and on time, maybe even trust in themselves that they can articulate what they need. Delegating is not always easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what I recommend instead to become more natural at delegation:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Do your research.<\/strong> It\u2019s important to know what skills are needed by the person you\u2019re going to hire. Just like hiring an accountant to do your taxes, you\u2019ll want to find someone with expertise. If you need to delegate setting up your newsletter, find someone with experience using MailChimp, Constant Contact or a similar program.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Take time to plan. <\/strong>You\u2019ve got to give the person doing the work enough time to schedule it into their calendar and get it done. This requires planning ahead. When a client needs to submit changes to their newsletter, for example, they would ask their editor on Monday if she has time for edits on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning. They don\u2019t just assume and send it over to them. You need to be prepared, too, for the answer to be \u201cnot this week, but I can next week.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Provide specific information. <\/strong>\u201cCan you handle this?\u201d is not enough information for the person you\u2019re delegating to \u2013 even if it\u2019s a simple and (in your mind) self-explanatory task. Include details, timelines and any supporting information. For example: \u201cI\u2019m ready to publish my next newsletter. Attached is the word document and the images I\u2019d like to use. Can we schedule it for this Friday at 6:00 am?\u201d Be thorough: include deadlines and guidelines about how you\u2019d like the work to be done.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Create check-in and control points. <\/strong>If you\u2019ve delegated a project, schedule check-in points for milestones. Sometimes there can be misunderstandings about the required tasks even when you both think you understand. Regular meetings will help with discovery and allow for adjustments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Develop a communicative relationship. <\/strong>When you work with someone, you are in a relationship with them. I don\u2019t mean you need to be their best friend, but simple things that work in your other relationships will work in this one too. A simple, \u201cThank you \u2013 great job,\u201d or \u201cHow was your weekend?\u201d will go a long way. Be sure to answer questions about the project quickly so that it can stay on track and on time. Your work together will require conversation \u2013 either written or verbal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The person assisting you wants to do a good job. If that\u2019s not happening, check these five points to see where you two might be going off track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Delegation is a powerful way to leverage your time<\/strong> and get help with areas of your business where you might not have expertise or desire to do. The longer you work together, the more efficient you’ll both get, and the trust will grow too. Done well, it can be a big win for you and your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
