DELEGATING FOR GROWTH
Delegation is more than assigning work to someone else . Often , it is about entrusting responsibility and accountability . By delegating tasks , a manager is handing a little bit of authority over to his or her subordinate , while at the same time keeping responsibility for completion of the task . Delegating is an opportune way to challenge a subordinate employee or prime them for more expansive duties .
However , deciding what and when to delegate can be a delicate matter . A Time Management Practitioner Consensus Survey found that close to half of the 332 companies surveyed were concerned about their employees ’ delegation skills . At the same time , only 28 % of those companies offered any training on the topic .
In this course you will discover how to decide what to delegate , match people with projects , clearly articulate desired outcomes , identify boundaries , and anticipate problems . As a result you will improve quality of work by allowing the employees who have direct knowledge to complete tasks , create personal accountability , motivate employees , have more flexibility in assignments , and increase productivity .

• Characteristics of positive delegation and barriers to delegation
• How to decide what to delegate
• Employee analysis for better task matching
