[Irtalk] Effective Delegation in Three Simple Steps

[Hilton Gibson]

*Delegation isn't a do-it and forget-it action.* "Very rarely can you have
one conversation and hand somebody a project, and then boom, it magically
appears exactly as you expected," says Jerry Hauser, CEO of The Management
Center, a Washington, DC-based firm that advises nonprofit leaders on how
to more effectively manage their organizations.
*In Hauser's experience, delegation is a balance between trusting others to
get the work done and taking steps to ensure that those you've delegated
to​,​ have the support needed to meet expectations.* He outlined a
three-step process that can help nonprofit leaders ensure their goals are
met while empowering their staff members to take on greater
responsibilities.
