“Delegation Process”
The process by which managers assign a portion of their total workload to other
employees or subordinates.
Steps in Delegation Process;
The delegation process involves some steps that must be gone through by the Manager.
These Steps include:
Assigning responsibility.
Granting authority.
Creating accountability.
The above steps in the delegation process are explained in the coming sections:
Assigning Responsibility;
At the very beginning the Manager should know which tasks to be delegated.
Identify the right person for that job.
Briefly discuss the task’s significance, starting date and deadline.
Be sure that the person is willing to accomplish the task.
Manager should see that the person he/she is assigning is reliable and interested in
extra responsibilities.
Motivate the worker that will boost the performance.
Granting Authority;
The worker to whom the task is delegated should be given a little authority over the task
so that he/she could perform better.
The task must be given to a group so that all the authority would not be transferred to
only one person.
The person could be allowed to have the authority of making some changes in the given
project if needed.
Full authority must not be given to the person, He should only be working under your
supervision.
Granting authority does not mean that you should leave the worker alone but it means
that you should guide them and be there if they face any issue.
Creating accountability;
After the job is assigned and partial authority is given to the right person than the
accountability step starts.
Manager should closely supervise the task.
Communication should be maintained so that in case of any problem the worker could
contact.
Ask for progress reports.
Give your feedback.
Do not let them think that you have forgotten after assigning them the task.
This check and balance will improve the quality as well as the amount of work done in a
span of time.
The End.
