The Busy Manager's Guide to Delegation

Delegation amounts to a lot more than just passing work off onto subordinates, and when handled correctly, it gives managers a chance to lead more effectively.

Authors Richard A. Luecke and Perry Mcintosh present leaders with a straightforward, five-step process for mastering delegation--and increasing their output. The Busy Manager’s Guide to Delegation teaches you to set the stage for excellent results, what to do if things go wrong, and ways to ensure that all their people benefit from the experience.

In this book, you’ll discover:

• which tasks to delegate;
• how to identify the right people for the jobs;
• how to assign tasks;
• how to monitor progress and provide feedback;
• and how to evaluate performance.

Filled with quick tips, exercises, self-assessments, and practical worksheets, The Busy Manager’s Guide to Delegation offers busy managers a way to strengthen their departments by focusing their newfound time and energy on developing the skills of their people.
