You may not realize that by doing everything yourself that you are demotivating your team. This week I'm going to teach you how to effectively delegate.
First, assess your team.
Length of employment - Have they been a part of the team for a number of years or are they just getting their feet wet? If you have a new employee you need to make sure this newbie understands the basics before throwing extra work at them.
Bandwidth - Do they have time to take on a new responsibility? If your team is already stretched thin delegation is a bad idea. Instead, describe the tasks that need to be completed, hours a week associated and hire a new team member to add to the ever-growing workload.
Desire - As you spend time with your team you will find some are comfortable where they are while others are chomping at the bit for a new work assignment. There's nothing wrong with either but knowing this is key to keeping team members motivated.
Take the Time To Teach!
There's more than one way to skin a cat
Support but don't loiter
Praise, correct, praise
Publicly acknowledge your team’s work
