The Importance of Task Delegation to Ensure Project Success

Delegating tasks should be easy, right? Learn the best ways on how you can make certain that you drive your team to success now.

There is no I in TEAM, but in reality, is it really so? In an organization, the amount of work can sometimes be overwhelming on the way up. As a project manager, more often than not, you wear different hats while you oversee a project. You find yourself drained out and too tired to do the things that really matter. So how can you exercise self-care and at the same time create a working environment that involves participation and enhances the skills that your team was hired to do? You know there’s only so much you can do no matter how hard you work and the only way to accomplish more is through task delegation. Let’s show you how to put task delegation into practice to build a strong team and ensure project success.

SOME ASPECTS TO FOCUS ON

Identify and capitalize – You have to know your team and sift through their experience and skills. It may mean delegating menial tasks like booking meetings or arranging bookings for travel to a virtual assistant. Make the best use of their skills and play to their individual strengths and weaknesses. Delegate by relevance of skill instead of convenience.
Establish a culture of trust – If you trust your team members, they are more likely to feel motivated to get things done. Encourage them to take full responsibility and accountability on the tasks to allow them to gain that sense of control. By knowing when and what to delegate and not micromanaging, you give yourself time to be able to work on your skills that are essential to lead the team forward. After all, nothing motivates a person more than being trusted.
Communicate expectations and goals effectively – The importance of communication cannot be stressed enough as it is one of the most common issues that crop up in a team. You have to learn how to talk to your people and understand the real issues. This breaks hierarchy over time as constant communication will allow your team to be comfortable in letting you know where they are stuck so you can guide them through it. No matter the role of each of your members, encouraging them to openly communicate increases their confidence and morale.
Feedback, follow-up and follow-through – Feedback is a powerful tool that creates a healthy working environment where your team members feel appreciated when you are actively listening to them. Follow-up on tasks so issues can be addressed in the early phases of the project. As circumstances and priorities change, it’s critical to follow-through action items so you are on-time and on-track with the deliverables. One-on-one conversations are the perfect opportunities for you and your team to get to know each other and discuss any areas of improvement.

Delegation doesn’t mean handing over work to someone else but it means making your workload more manageable so you can focus on strategizing and at the same time, allowing your team members to develop more skills. It is not an easy feat but the sooner you start, the sooner you thrive to be a more effective leader.
