In the early stages of team building and management, you often start by delegating tasks. This is an essential step in the process as it allows team members to take on responsibility and contribute to the overall goals of the team. However, as your team grows and matures, it's important to transition from merely delegating tasks to delegating decisions.
Delegating decisions involves entrusting your team members with the authority to make key decisions related to their tasks. This not only frees up your time as a manager but also empowers team members, fostering a sense of ownership and increasing their engagement and commitment.
One great way to start to foster this is: When your employee asks you whether they should do X or Y, the response is always “What would you recommend”.
They will start to make decisions under your guidance and eventually won’t even need you!
