The Results

Effective delegation will increase your contribution to the organization. You will be helping others increase their ability as well as developing new skills of your own. All managers need to be constantly seeking people (the right people) who want to be pushed up within the organization. This will develop positive attitudes, emphasize personal growth, encourage creativity, and reward initiative.

It takes practice to learn to let go and delegate well. Be patient with yourself and the delegatee. Be sure you praise the person who has accepted a delegated task and done a good job. If it is necessary to make corrections, do it privately, preferably during your one-on-one meeting.
