Team leader don’t only “do” – they also delegate

As team leader, it’s part of your job to assign work. Delegation means than that however. It means assigning team members some of your work and giving them:

• Responsibility – putting them in charge of achieving a certain objective
• Authority – giving them the power to make the decisions necessary to achieve their goal.

Responsibility and authority are both essential to successful delegation. Delegation without responsibility and authority will tie team members’ hands – and keep them coming back to you for approval and guidance. When this happens, they can’t grow – and you’ll end up with more to do, not less!
