Motivation By Delegation

"When people are highly motivated, it's easy to accomplish the impossible. And when they are not, it's impossible to accomplish the easy." - Bob Collings It is true that a boss who delegates can use the time to do other important work. But the primary function of delegation has more to do with the person receiving the responsibility than the person delegating it. You should delegate not just to have less work, but more importantly, to enhance the overall productivity of the group. How can delegation enhance overall productivity? When a boss delegates important tasks and responsibilities to her/his staff, s/he raises their level of excitement, enthusiasm and sense of self-worth and accomplishment. If delegation is limited to trivial and routine tasks more is lost than gained. Employees can see that their boss does not have confidence in their abilities nor interest in developing them. Use delegation for the right purpose: motivation of your staff.
