Delegation and Supervision

When you can delegate and supervise well, you will not believe how efficient and easy managing your team can be.

So often, managers’ performance reviews, their salary increases, and basically their fate within the company in general are judged by the results they deliver . . . yet those results are usually produced by a team of employees working under them. Which means that perhaps the most important and broad-reaching aspect of a manager’s job is the ability to delegate and supervise extremely well. In Delegation & Supervision, success expert Brian Tracy reveals time-tested ways any manager can use to boost the performance and productivity of their employees, including how to:

• Define work, assign it, and set measurable, targeted standards for performance
• Match skills to job requirements
• Use Management by Objectives to delegate longer-term tasks to trusted team members
• Monitor, control, and keep on top of projects with minimum effort
• Turn delegation into a teaching tool and build the confidence of your staff
• Avoid reverse delegation
• Free up time for higher-level tasks only you can tackle
• And much more

When done right, delegation and supervision will allow your employees to learn, grow, and become more capable. And you will impress the higher-ups with all that you and your team accomplished. When done wrong . . . well, you can’t afford to get it wrong.
