What is this thing called delegation?

Delegation is one of the most important management skills, particularly in today’s high-tech, and high pressure business arena. It’s making the best use of one of the organisation’s most valuable assets – people!

Good delegation saves time, develops people, grooms a successor and motivates individuals and the team; it can be used to develop people and yourself – it is not just a management technique for freeing up the boss’s time.

Simply put, delegation is about creating more time for yourself, developing employees and contributing to business success.
