How To Delegate

  1. Specify responsibilities very clearly so that everyone involved knows what is expected
  2. Provide clear and adequate authority and specify the limits of discretion allowed in this
  3. Specify reporting arrangements
  4. Make sure that the person being delegated to accepts these responsibilities
  5. Inform others who need to know what the arrangements are
  6. Monitor progress: there should never be a time when you are unaware of what is going on
  7. Make sure that the person delegated to has sufficient and relevant information available to do the task
  8. Give support and assistance at all times but make sure that you do not end up doing the job yourself
  9. Make mistakes a learning experience

Good Luck!
