ABSTRACT

By monitoring a job, you stay in control, you will be able to see potential problems at an early stage and you can guide your team member to make any necessary changes to keep the job on course.

Remember that the level of direct control you have over a job is related to the amount of trust you have in the team member doing a good job. Bear in mind how the team member is likely to respond if you show little confidence in their abilities and keep intervening in the job. Whenever you delegate, you are taking some risk, because you are sharing your responsibility for the job with another person.
