Do you often use the function of delegation?
Delegation is a function of management that everyone of us should use on
a situational basis. We delegate when
there’s a need to delegate but when there’s no reason to delegate we should not
delegate.
So, when are you going to delegate and when should you not delegate? You
only delegate your function/s when there is a pressing need to do that. For
instance, there’s a deadline to be meet and you surely can’t do it all you need
to delegate in this situation. Otherwise if you will not you won’t be able to achieve
your task.
Many managers often abuse the function of delegation. They have the
tendency to delegate even the task that they can actually do and are supposed
to do. Even if they have the time to do it they still choose to delegate. Why do they delegate even if they can do it
themselves? The answer is very simple: they are lazy!
When a leader/manager is always a patron of delegation it would
eventually make him intellectually weak or dull. For the simple reason that it
will lessen the efficiency of his brain, lest we forget, inactive brain makes a
dull brain.
If he/she has time a leader/manager should avoid delegation he should
just do what he is supposed to do. Thus he increases his brain activity and
this surely will result to a dynamic
mindset which will benefit nobody but himself and the organization where he/she
belongs.
How about the manager/leader who loves to delegate? He/she is not only a
lazy manager/leader he/she is also incompetent and does not deserve to be
called leader/manager. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
