Delegation. Delegation is a powerful process that helps people become better than they ever dreamed they could be. The heart of delegating is developing and growing people. It marks a big step in your professional development when you realize that other people can help you do a better job than you could do alone. Delegation accomplishes the following: it helps you get more done; it shares details about a project with someone else, giving others a backup contact when you're not available; it frees up administrative duties, letting you concentrate on important things you never have time to accomplish such as long-range planning; it helps to form a team, creating a sense of belonging among employees; it teaches elements of your job to another employee so you can take on new responsibilities and get promoted. When you move up, someone you've developed through delegation steps in and the department continues to run smoothly; and, it gives you time to learn new skills so you keep growing. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the various elements of managerial delegation and how best to approach it as a business function. 11 pgs. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
