Knowing how to delegate is crucial to scaling your biz

But...

As with many things, it is a learned skill.

Here’s a few things I’ve learned over the years about effective delegation:

[THREAD]

1) The task(s) to be done must be clear.

There is no confusion about what needs to be done.

This eliminates any of the “oh, well I thought it meant that…”.

It’s important everyone has the same definition for a task.

2) The timeline must be clear. There is no confusion about when (1) needs to be done.

3) It must be clear who is responsible for each task in (1). Every task has someone responsible.

4) All parties agree to the above 3 points.

You see…

You can’t just assign something to someone and think it is delegated.

An agreement must be made, and an agreement is made when both parties agree on the tasks, the timeline, and the person responsible.

Now...

5) What happens if you do all the above and a task or timeline is not met?

If a task isn’t completed properly, it means that the task was not clear enough.

As the one delegating, that’s on you.

Make sure it’s clear.

Next:

6) If a timeline is going to be missed, the person responsible needs to make sure everyone knows.

Communicate this immediately so a new agreement can be made on the timeline.

Don’t wait until the deadline passes.

And...

7) Check in to make sure things are on track.

Just because you delegate a task doesn’t mean you can turn a blind eye.
