How Its done-Empowering Employees When Delegating

The Art To Delegate  for day-to-day tasks may often be what many managers overlook when figuring out what to delegate . These are the items to share or reassign in part. Items related to the day-to-day operations of your group, which some managers tend to hold onto, are where your greatest potential exists to delegate wholly or in part to people on your staff. To help you decide which ones to delegate, the list below are some examples that you can entrust to certain employees to manage:

1. Solving fairly routine customer problems
2. Setting the daily work schedule and work flow
3. Preparing agendas for your regular staff meetings
4. Making decisions on situations that employees face in carrying out their responsibilities
5. Completing functions you're less qualified for or not too good at doing
6. Handling technical duties
7. Compiling data
8. Composing regular administrative reports
9. Researching issues that come your way
10. Training new employees or others in the group
11. Carrying out important functions for which little staff coverage exists, meaning there's no back-up support for day-to-day operations
12. Handling vendor-relations issues
13. Seizing opportunities that build upon others' creative talents or desires
14. Answering questions you're frequently asked
15. Dealing with new functions that come about due to change in the workplace

Remember to keep track on progress regularly the items are formally under you responsibility as a manager/leader.
