5 Reasons Given By Our Clients for Not Delegating
As we’ve mentioned in earlier blogs and mailings, March is Delegation Month at cushion the impact. We will be sharing our top tips for successful delegation and helping you to harness this fantastic productivity resource.
In our experience, the most difficult aspect of delegation is developing the habit in the first place. There are numerous reasons why people find it hard to delegate work, ranging from a belief that nobody else can complete a task to the required standard, to a reluctance to increase a colleague’s workload. Whatever your reasons for not delegating at work, it’s time to get over them and make yourself more productive!
Top 5 Reasons Mentioned By Clients for Not Delegating
A need to retain control – Many people believe that nobody else is capable of completing a task to the same high standards as they could themselves.
Unwillingness to overload a colleague – We all know that our colleagues and team members are busy, so many of us don’t want to add to their burden by giving them even more work to do.
Lack of experience – If you have never delegated a task before, it can be difficult to know how, when and to whom you should delegate.
Lack of qualified colleagues – Too many managers and businesses are unwilling to invest the time, effort and money into training their staff or looking for the appropriately qualified out-sourcerer.
Unrealistic expectations – This is a major stumbling block on the road to successful delegation for many leading to micro-management of the task which can often decrease the productivity of all involved
If the reasons we’ve mentioned have struck a chord and you want to know how to overcome them, keep an eye out for our next installment. Our top tips for developing delegation skills will be on the blog shortly.
