Delegation and Motivation

As organisations grow increasingly complex, the duties and responsibilities of the workforce can be less defined; the allocation of task is less distinct, and everyone appears to be doing each other’s job.

Delegation is an essential management skill, and to achieve the very best results you should be aware of its benefits and recognising the barriers that can hinder its success.

Delegating to motivate is central to a feeling of job satisfaction and sense of achievement, as people will not develop unless they are given tasks that build their abilities, experience and confidence. It follows that they will perform best in a structured environment in which all are aware of the delegated duties and responsibilities, and in which each has the skills and resources to carry out task efficiently.
