"This software rocks golden. Have been looking for this thingy a long time now. My search is over."

" Although I use Microsoft Outlook I found that the task tracking in your software has a better view and layout than Outlook. I like the way that icons can be used for different categories, and the different colours that are used in the main task list make it easier to get an overall picture of outstanding issues."

Effective delegation skill

Effective delegation skill

Delegating tasks is indispensable skill for managers of all levels, but not only for managers. This skill is an important part of your personal time management. You cannot do everything by yourself. Moreover, you shouldn’t. If you want to manage your time effectively, you have to assign tasks and responsibilities to others.

Delegating tasks tips

  • When you face a problem or get a task, ask yourself if you have to do it on your own or maybe you can delegate this task to another person.
  • The next question is: “Who I can delegate this task to?”
  • If you have subordinates, you can delegate the task to one of them. Perhaps, you consider that your subordinate will perform it worse than you. But you can still delegate the task to him or her, if you are ready to train them a bit.
  • You can delegate tasks not only to your subordinates, but also to your boss. For example, if the task fulfillment requires that you take some decisions that are beyond of your competency or authority, you can delegate this task to your boss.
  • Service exchange may be a good idea. Somebody can do a task for you and you will do another thing for him or her.
  • “Win-win” decision is the best one. In our case it means that delegating task should save your time and efforts and give something valuable to the delegatee, e.g. some training, skill enhancement or interesting and useful opportunity.
  • Let your delegatee choose method and way of task execution.
  • It is more effective to delegate the whole task.
  • You need to communicate with the delegatee and arrange about expected results and requirements.
  • Remember that you are still responsible for task fulfillment. You should be able to monitor the progress and be aware of how your task is executed and when it will be completed.
  • Finally, you can buy some service from outside or delegate the task to technology or software
