You can’t do everything. You’ve got to share your work where you can. Not only does it take the pressure off you, you’ll find staff enjoy the new responsibilities you’ve given them. So show your trust in people – follow these seven ‘must-do’ delegation tips:

1 Think carefully about who you’re going to delegate to. Don’t overload the highest performer. Make sure everyone has the skills to do what you’re asking them to do.

2 Meet quickly with the people you’ve chosen. They’ll need more time than you to prepare for the task. What might take you a day to achieve might take someone else a week!

one minute wonder Think about the last time your own boss delegated a task to you. What can you learn from the way you were delegated to? How will it change the way you delegate to others?

3 Set aside plenty of time to talk through the task. Others may not be as quick in understanding it as you. Allow plenty of time to make things clear.

4 Be clear about about the end result. If you only want a one-page report then say so. Be precise about what you’re asking someone to do.
