Steps for a Successful Delegation Pipeline

Delegation takes planning. Delegation is the key ingredient to time management and allows the manager to concentrate on the important tasks, not just the urgent tasks. The use of a planning and administration system that allows you to track delegated assignments can improve performance and communication.
Below are 5 Steps to a Successful Delegation Pipeline


  1. Make a list all of your tasks and then create categories such as the things only I can do, things that can be simplified, things that can be eliminated, and things that can be delegated (Simplify, Eliminate, or Delegate).
  2. Set levels of delegation and formulate goals to move as many people as possible to the highest level. 
  3. Communicate expectations clearly with measurable results.
  4. Provide feedback continuously with a clear check-in process (daily, weekly, monthly).
  5. Give credit where credit is due. This encourages those who helped in the initial task and makes it easier for you to delegate in the future.
