  1. Delegation

  2. When to Delegate If you can answer “yes” to at least some of the above questions, then it could well be worth delegating.

  3. Other Factors Worth Considering

  4. To Whom Should You Delegate

  5. Delegate Successfully

  6. 1. Clearly Articulate Desired Outcome The report is due at the end of the quarter. I would like you to work on the financial section and have it to me by the end of the month. I would be happy to help in getting the report together and I appreciate knowing the timelines.

  7. 2. Clearly Identify Constraints and Boundaries Great! You will need to check with the CFO for input on the latest numbers. I would arrange an meeting soon, as I understand he is taking some vacation soon. Thanks for the heads-up. If the CEO isn’t available is there someone else on the staff that could provide me with the information?

  8. 3. Include People in the Process That’s a good question. I would suggest you work with the Senior Accountant and his team. I will leave it up to you to make those contacts. I’ve worked with him before on end-of-year reports so I don’t anticipate any difficulties.

  9. 4. Match Amount of Responsibility with the Amount of Authority If you run into any trouble or obstacles, let me know and we can work through a solution. It is good to know that I have your support and encouragement.

  10. 5. Delegate to the lowest possible organizational level You may also want to engage our administrative assistant with help in completing the final document. That would really save me a lot of time and allow the admin to do what she does best.

  11. 6. Provide adequate support You know my door is always open if you run into a snag. I’ll check in every now and then just to see how everything is going. I won’t hesitate to ask for clarification or help. Thanks.

  12. 7. Focus on results I really want you to make this project your own. Are there any questions you have? Not right now. Thanks for giving me the space to organize and execute this the way that makes sense to me.

  13. 8. Avoid “upward delegation” Let’s take a step back. What are some ways that you have already tried to handle the situation? What are some other solutions that you may not have tried yet? I’m running into a problem with the admin. Can you talk to her and get her to do what needs to be done?

  14. 9. Build motivation and commitment I appreciate your vote of confidence and am happy for the opportunity to make a contribution to the college. I know this is a big job and that it will take a lot of time and effort on your part. If we are successful, we will certainly celebrate.

  15. 10. Establish and maintain control We can discuss progress on this project at our weekly meetings. Please create a checklist for all the pieces that you see needing to be addressed. That way we can stay on top of things. I already have some ideas on how to breakdown this project and what departmental and interdepartmental resources may be necessary.
