It is rightly said that if you delegate a right person with the right power and right position it become easy for the management to achieve it objective by getting the work done. In past many companies make the mistake of delegating power to the wrong person and was not able to get the work done. Now the management realizes the importance of delegation of the power and find it were difficult job to do so. Many leaders believe they are responsible for their organization or unit, and everyone else is there to do their work. This is not only demoralizing to direct reports, but it makes it difficult for the leader to delegate even the simplest tasks without having to dictate every detail of execution.
Steps that can be followed to solve the problem of delegation:-
DELEGATION BY UNIT: Give each person in department true ownership over their function or area. Instead of telling them what to do, explain what your priorities are for the organization and ask them to develop specific ways they will implement them.
ACCOUNTABILITY: Take it a step further and ask them to determine the metrics by which they will be judged for there results and accountability.
