Are You Able To Delegate?

"You can delegate authority, but you cannot delegate responsibility."

Byron Dorgan

To develop functions of manager necessarily implicates to delegate to other part of your own power.

How? Which are the advantages to delegate?

To distribute activity, problems and decisions of detail allows having more time to be devoted to the important decisions.

Secondarily with the delegation you activate the process of motivation of your collaborators.

The delegation produces trust and consent.

To their it turns these elements they determine involvement and share and therefore, to psychological level, sense of affiliation and safety.

A person “sure” and involved it will be also more course to develop a notable spirit of initiative, which is translated then in results.

With the attainment of results it will increase the self-esteem and also the esteem of others and the collaborator can actually grow to give the maximum one doing all of this that can do.

You can ask: what is it really the delegation?

It is not simple to give an answer because it is a behavioural formality that leans on oneself own abilities to manage the relationships between different persons.

The based authoritarian management on to give orders and to check that is performed it doesn't ask for some effort of listening and understanding of the interlocutor.

To delegate means to know how to choose among the collaborators who it has the professional and psychological maturity to be delegated to a determined assignment instead.

This everything implies the active listening, the knowledge of the processes of motivation and the ability to build a relationship of mutual trust that involves and protects the whole group of which the leadership is had.

Listening to the collaborators and communicant with them, he becomes also aware of the resources that are necessary to allow them to develop the delegated assignments in the arranged times.

There will be therefore moments negotiate them to define the resources and to ask for her to the other levels of the organization.
