“Show me a leader who doesn’t delegate, and I’ll show you a business that hasn’t grown”.
Chris Lynam
This statement may seem bold; however, in most cases, it’s true. Delegation is the key to the growth of a business and its people.
This leadership style allows leaders to give their employees greater freedom to make decisions. They can give more control and power to their team. They might delegate tasks to a few managers or give each employee the ability to guide their own work. While leaders won’t participate in every decision, they still check in, provide necessary resources, and bear overall responsibility for the outcome.
There are considerable benefits of delegation leadership, for example, when your team adapts to a hands-off approach where they have as much influence on a project as everyone else.
The act of passing a task or responsibility on to someone else may seem straightforward enough, but it can be very challenging for both leaders and team members.
A shining example of a Delegative Leader is Agostina Pechi, Managing Director of Goldman Sachs. New York. A highly successful Hispanic woman who has climbed to the top in her field advises an open-door policy — “it’s essential to be open to your team member’s suggestions, concerns, and feedback. For example, I implement a weekly email follow-up or in-person catch-up just to give some cadence to our interactions. So, I don’t wait until they come to me with an issue or progress”.
Delegate early & often: don’t overload yourself – delegate!
Set clear goals & milestones: set specific goals and milestones rather than giving long-term unattainable ones without concrete dates.
Consider hiring a personal assistant: – hire an assistant who knows your preferences/skills to handle administrative tasks!
Allocate assignments accordingly: everyone will have opportunities without being overloaded. Delegate fairly across the board based on the strengths of members of your team, their skill sets, and interests.
“Surround yourself with great people; delegate authority; get out of the way.”
Ronald Reagan
