Reality-Based Leaders

When people hear the word delegation, they often cringe for fear that management is sending them busy work. In challenging times, leaders often try to ease the frustrations of employees by protecting them from the realities of aggressive agendas. Instead of capitalizing on the amazing opportunities inherent in the situation, leaders try to shield their people from additional work. Here is a guide to help leaders delegate to maximize their time and develop employees for future greatness: 1. Think return on investment. 2. Thin development. 3. Think strengths. 4. Think outside of your staff. 5. Avoid setting others up to fail. 6. Avoid dumping. 7. Avoid delegating unprocessed work.
