Hey everyone, welcome back to Management Momentum Coaching! In today’s video, we’re diving into a crucial leadership skill that everyone talks about but few truly excel at: delegation.
I’m sharing the exact same techniques I teach my executive coaching clients and cohort leaders, and trust me, even small tweaks can make a huge difference. We’re going beyond the usual “delegate more” advice and getting into the nitty-gritty of how to delegate effectively.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’ll cover:
- Understanding the skill level of the person you’re delegating to. You might need to adjust your approach based on their experience and current performance.
- The importance of clearly defining what success looks like for the task or responsibility you’re handing over. Don’t assume they know what you have in mind!.
- Why it’s okay (and even beneficial!) to share your “quirks” and specific preferences related to the task. This can prevent misunderstandings and ensure better outcomes. I even share a personal example!.
- The necessity of setting clear timelines and follow-up points to keep things on track.
- What to do when delegation doesn’t go as planned, including how to provide supportive feedback.
- The critical distinction between delegating responsibility versus just tasks – this is key to fostering ownership and growth.
- And finally, how to look inward at your own communication strategies if you consistently find that delegation isn’t working.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re the only one who can get things done right, or if you’re struggling to effectively empower your team, then this video is for you. I promise, these practical tips will change the way you delegate and ultimately free up your time and help your team thrive.
