10 Tips for Successful Delegation

Learning how to delegate effectively can help managers build a strong and successful team, according to a Mind Tools resource.
Mind Tools is an organization that aims at providing people with simple processes and techniques to help them make the most of their careers.

Here are 10 ways to successfully delegate to the team:

1. Clearly articulate the desired outcome.
2. Clearly identify constraints and boundaries.
3. Where possible, empower people to decide what tasks are to be delegated to them and when.
4. Match the amount of responsibility with the amount of authority.
5. Delegate to the lowest possible organizational level and remember, the people who are closest to the work are best suited for the task.
6. Provide adequate support, and be available to answer questions.
7. Concern yourself with what needs to be accomplished, rather than detailing how the work should be done.
8. If there is a problem, don't allow the person to shift responsibility for the task back to you.
9. Build motivation and commitment.
10. Establish and maintain control.
