You're leading a team with multiple tasks. How can you delegate effectively to boost productivity?

Seven guiding principles of delegation for managers - Identify tasks that can be delegated - Identify the right person for the task - Communicate expectations clearly - Provide the necessary support and resources - Set realistic goals and deadlines - Trust and empower team members - Provide feedback and recognize achievements Effective delegation may require strong communication, trust, and support from managers, but is well worth the effort to have a better sense of productivity, autonomy, and responsibility for the wider team. As a manager, granting this autonomy and trust to your employees empowers them to take ownership of their tasks.

Effective delegation is crucial for boosting productivity in a team with multiple tasks. Start by clearly defining each task and understanding the strengths and skills of your team members. Assign tasks based on their abilities and interests to ensure they are well-suited for the job. Communicate your expectations and deadlines clearly, providing the necessary resources and support. Encourage open communication and be available for guidance, but also allow team members the autonomy to complete their tasks. Regularly check in on progress and provide feedback, recognizing accomplishments and addressing any issues promptly. By trusting your team and distributing tasks effectively, you can enhance overall productivity and team morale.

Na minha experiência para a comunidaçao ser clara deve-se evitar o uso de palavras que podem ter multiplas interpretações como "flexibilidade", "Inovação", "Eficiente", "Rápido", etc. Por exemplo a palavra "Flexibilidade": pode ser interpretada como 1) adaptação às mudança, 2) disponibilidade de horarios ou 3) abertura para novas ideias. Portanto para ser "clara" a comunicação deve ser especifica. Em vez de dizer precisaremos de "mais flexibilidade", dizer de forma especifica: "durante os 30 dias de implantação do novo software de vendas, todos os vendedores deverão dedicar uma hora de suas agendas para praticar o novo sistema." Especificar o que deve ser feito é essencial para evitar desentendimentos na equipe e desperdicios de tempo.

A good idea is a gooed idea regardless of the source! Resources come in many different forms. The best leaders I worked with taught me that others within an organization can be a valuable resource and is a great way to build collaboration and cross-departmental relationships. Connecting someone from Operations with a leader in the marketing department to solve a problem (assuming both have the necesary skill/compentency) can bring unique perspectives to each and may result in a better solution than expected. It also fosters a collaborative work environment, helps bring united solutions to issues and allows others seek out feedback/solutions from different sources.

Monitoring the team progress by set goals, adds positive comments to the team efforts. Dislike the micromanagement. Give confidence to team members. All sets toward boost the entire team productivity.

Delegation without follow up is simply abdication! It can be a fine line between micro-management and abdicating responsibility but as a leader, your role is to ensure that assignments are completed in a timely manner. My VP was following up with me on an assignment once and I was behind and had made little progress in the few weeks since out last follow up. After I let him know not much had changed he looked at me and asked, "Do you need me to do this for you?" Of course that question stung a bit but I felt like I had let him and the organization down and vowed never to let that happen again!

As you think about delegating assignments with multiple layers, think about how to use it as a development opportunity for indivuduals with a high capacity for growth. Your best team members like challenges and an opportunity to grown and though they may not have a specific skill for an assignment due to a lack of experience, good people adapt and figure things out. Of course, you need to monitor them and lead them to successful outcomes, but most will see a "stretch" assignment as a reward and a demonstation of trust and confidence in them as valuable contributor.
