Delegation is the granting of authority and independence to another person to complete a project. It must be understood that with the authority to do a job, comes the responsibility to get it done. A benefit of good delegation is that it gives a manager the opportunity to spend more time on important work, which cannot be delegated.
For these reasons, delegating work and responsibility can be very beneficial for the company. But to be effective, delegation must be used with some caution. Before delegating a project, you, as a manager, must first answer two questions:
1. To whom should projects be delegated?
2. What kind and how much work and responsibility can be delegated to this person?
It is important to understand that delegation involves projects, which include significant decision making. If an employee is not given the responsibility to make decisions, it is not delegation. The assigning of routine and repetitive work does not bring the benefits which delegation can.
Work assignment, even though the employee is asked to perform a specific task as assigned, also has the potential to add to the positive climate - when it is fair and takes employee preferences into consideration This, obviously, is difficult to do all the time, but if employees are given as much of a voice in deciding who should receive non-regular work assignments, good ones as well as undesirable ones, then these assignments are likely to have a beneficial impact on morale.
Delegating work to an employee who is not ready to accept the responsibility can have two negative effects:
1. The job will not get done or not be completed on time.
2. The failures that result from ineffective delegation will have an understandably bad effect on the employee.
When delegating, it is good to always remember that effective delegation of work is not giving up all your authority. The delegate should have a fair amount of freedom, but the manager must retain some control. This will insure that the project is satisfactorily completed.
