It cannot be overstated how critical it is for a manager to understand how to delegate. You can focus less on executing duties and more on managing and leading, when you delegate appropriately.
There are many benefits to delegating:
- First of all, it frees you up to manage and lead others, as well as take on extra projects.
- Secondly, you let the most involved and motivated employees show themselves, take additional responsibility and gain new skills.

To make it a win-win situation, use these four steps of effective delegation for a manager:
- Analyze your current tasks. Find ones that you can delegate.

- Discuss details with the employee. Explain what result you expect.
- Monitor progress.
