Delegation and Accountability for Managers
Overview
“What can I delegate?” is the first question managers should ask when looking at their task list. A manager’s job is to focus on strategies, not tactical, routine, daily To-Do list items.
Some managers lack confidence to delegate, others hate the pushback from busy employees. Still others think that employees are overburdened so they do the work themselves. Another excuse for not delegating is believing that it takes too much time to explain what they want done. But the ultimate excuse for refusing to delegate is this: “I want it done right!” In truth, the inner fear may be “I will lose my power.”
