ABSTRACT
Poor delegation means poor management. Good delegation is the cornerstone of good management skills. Ineffective delegation hinders the success of an entire office. Allowing poor delegation skills to continue steals the sense of satisfaction in a well-run workplace. Ineffective delegation drains energy right out of the workplace. Lack of delegation also holds families hostage to the never-ending workloads. Start delegating-stop stealing. Ineffective delegation undermines the professional and personal lives of everyone. By delegating details, managers become specialists in the art of managing. They are not trapped by excelling at one task. They can walk into any division of a company prepared to make it function. They know people and how to develop them. They use people power to do the unique tasks of the department while they manage. One successful delegator relates the story of the proficient cocktail server who was willing to accept the challenge of his delegation.
