Say what? Delegating sideways and upward? You mean delegating to my boss and Joe the marketing manager in the office next door? Yep!
Again, it will take some homework on your part to determine if sideways and upward delegation are acceptable in your work culture. If you find they are, get with it! But remember, delegation is never about shuffling work off on someone else, and sideways and upward delegating are no different.
