Naomi is a manager in a semiconductor company she is always loaded with
work thus she always report for work early and goes home late. Due to this her
children were already complaining about the time that she gives them.
Having observed this kind of situation her husband who is a management
professor asked her: “Do you harness the function of delegation in your job?”
The wife replied, “I used to but I stopped it already because I am not
successful with delegation. The husband advised her, “You simply have to
delegate properly so that you would be able to be successful with delegation.
There is failure in delegation for the simple reason that the function
of delegation is not being properly used. For example, there are careless
managers/leaders who delegate without properly informing the person to be
delegated about the nitty-gritty of the job. Or they simply delegate after
which they are nowhere to be found they would only appear when they need the
delegated job already.
Here are important points to consider when we delegate: 1. Inform the
person/s to be delegated about the essentials of the job. 2. Inform the
person/s about the time frame of the job. 3. Inform the person/s the result
that you want from the job. 4. Be informed about the status of the delegated
job by checking on it regularly until it’s done.
After considering all of these four points and you still are not
satisfied with the result of the delegated job. It’s about time to revisit your
organization’s recruitment standards for the simple reason that your
organization is not currently recruiting the best and the brightest human resource.
