Stop Delegating Your Task

Maybe you think the title of my article as a joke. How could I dare to violate the standard of leadership that has long been used of people. Is not delegating is one of the important skills in leadership? I earnestly invite you to stop delegating your tasks to anyone in your office. Although the 'technical delegation' is very suitable for the transfer of responsibility to others, or it could be a reason to complain about the unpreparedness of others in accepting assignments that we give; but 'delegating' is no longer able to meet the challenges of leadership in this era. So, you should just quit delegating tasks to others.

So far, we believe that to be able to effectively perform the function of leadership, one must be skilled at delegating tasks. At least, that's taught in training classes and leadership books. However, we often forget the real world is not always in line with theories that are taught. Is not that the theory is inconsistent with our actual needs on the ground, should be left alone? For those of you who are interested to accompany me to learn to understand that the delegation is no longer relevant to the leadership challenges we face today

Be aware that the responsibility we can not be transferred to others. There is always a tempting opportunity to throw the responsibility to others. That way we have more free time, and could work with more relaxed. Try to remember back, how many leaders are throwing their responsibilities to subordinates, and then blame them when the results were judged unsatisfactory? Not a few leaders who are caught up in blaming this kind of mental. In fact, just as you are not satisfied if your salary transferred to someone else, then so is the professional responsibility that you bear; should not be transferred to others.

Realize that the delegation of causing others to feel being burden of your work. Ask yourself: Do you like the moment when someone gave the job to you? When you judge that he should do it yourself, then your little heart would say: "if i work on your task than what is it your doing then?" Perhaps, the people you give the delegates were saying the same words. But, of course, not out of their mouths. So, even if they invite you to delegate your work, they expect you to do it to someone else. Anyone do their origin.

Realize that no one liked the additional duties. How many jobs have you completed? Every year is always growing, right? The good news is, it does not only happen to you. Other people are also the same. Look at the people around you. In fact, the work they were already a lot, and even then still will grow again from year to year. Now, let's imagine if they had a lot of work was compounded by the delegation that you provide to them. Roughly, they received the delegation was happy or not huh? To find the answer, you can ask yourself: if someone gives you an additional task. I doubt if you accept it gladly. Why? Because, basically, no one likes the extra duty.

Realize that people can accept an assignment with a sense of necessity. If one can not accept additional duties gladly, even if accepted it would mean he had to do with feelings. Maybe they were forced to because of fear. May fear being scolded, because they often get angry. May fear the layoffs because they often hear someone easily sing a song titled 'fire'. It may also be fear of being called disloyal, and so many other possibilities that make them forced to accept it. The types of force can only be understood if you are wearing clothing labeled empathy.

Realize that you can not expect much from those who felt forced. Your reputation is largely determined by the quality completion of your duties and responsibilities entailed. Therefore, someone who wants to maintain its reputation remains good must ensure that no defects in any of his work. So, what can we expect from people who feel compelled to do something other than work at random? It's too risky to delegate your tasks that are important to others. Since you can not expect the quality of work and achievements of those who bully feel forced.

If you still have doubts about what I am describing; you're not alone. It is not easy to escape from the old order is already ingrained. Even many who insisted on saying: "My enjoy-enjoy with assignments that I give." They say: "If it is correctly delegated, certainly not the case the negative things like that." However, it was time to test re premises delegation of your convictions. Aspects - aspect of the above can give an idea of ​​how the delegation is no longer relevant to the context of leadership in this century. But ... if it's not delegate the task of leading a reliable technique.
