risk is low because these tasks are within the ability range of the delegate. Quadrant 2 is for low to moderate competence delegates and the task is complex. Growth is low because the assignment will likely encourage failure and discouragement. Delegates will rarely move from the low end of the competence scale when assigned to this quadrant. The risk is high because these tasks are outside of the ability range of the delegate. Quadrant 3 is for high competence delegates and the task is simple. Growth is low because the assignment is well below their abilities. The task may even seem trivial and busy work to them. These tasks may demotivate your high competence delegates. The risk level is low because the task falls well within or below their level of ability. There is very little challenge in the task. Quadrant 4 is for high competence delegates and the task is simple. Growth is high because the task is challenging and stimulates the use of complex skills. The delegate often learns and this typically has a strengthening effect on their competence. The risk level is high. The task is complex and if new to the delegate, they may still need guidance. Complex tasks often come with high risk levels despite the competence of the employee. The Delegation Risk Tool is designed to help you assess risk and manage your delegation strategy. No quadrant is a disqualification to delegate. Each quadrant adds perspective and gives you an opportunity to adjust your delegation strategy appropriately. The higher the risk means you need to be involved closer to the assignment. Perhaps it means frequent follow ups or partnership with someone else who has completed the task in the past. As you consider this tool, it should make delegation more palatable. Consider the growth potential (low or high) your return on investment. As your employees grow, they become more valuable to you and your organization. There is a lot to be gained from delegation. Unfortunately, there is a lot you are losing from not delegating.
