Have you ever been thrown into a situation where you are chosen to lead a bunch of people and delegate them tasks that maybe they don’t want to do? I’ve been there too, and it’s a tough situation. Delegating tasks may seem very simple and straight-forward, but for “quiet” leaders it’s much harder. Some leaders do it with such ease that nobody ever seems to question them, and everyone just has a giant amount of mutual respect. Other times when you’re handing out tasks, you overthink, and you mess up, and put yourself through so much unnecessary stress because you don’t want to mess up in front of all these people, and you want to be seen as a good leader. In the type of class that we are in, delegating tasks are vital because as students, they give us a huge opportunity to show off all of the skills we have learned from the class to our peers, and to the community. Delegation is assigning any responsibility or authority to another person to carry out specific activities. People tend to delegate tasks to certain people who specialize in that area, they wouldn’t give someone who doesn’t know how to fix a computer the task of fixing a computer. An important part of delegation is making sure that your teammates understand why they need to accomplish their tasks. Explaining this need gives you the chance to relate the tasks to the goals of your organization. This will help your teammates understand your team’s objective and will help them understand what they are working towards, rather than going in blindly. The following tips are here to help you know how to delegate tasks properly:
Ways you can personally improve your delegation skills are: learn to let go, state the things that are priorities, play to your workers’ strengths, always include instructions, never be afraid to teach them new skills, and trust them. Delegation skill is the ability to effectively assign task responsibility and authority to others. In other words, delegation skill is your ability to get things done by using work and time of other people. Also, a major reason why employees resist change in the workroom is because of poor management skills who don’t take charge and properly delegate their employees the tasks they should be. I know for me personally I tend to overthink, and second-guess myself whenever I am in a leader situation, and when everyone is relying on me I sometimes feel like I can’t rely on myself. For my own personal leadership, delegating tasks is the hardest thing to do when you have been put in a leadership position, because you have to deal with a lot of different personalities wanting to do the same task, or somebody doesn’t get to do the task they want, and you’re to blame. After researching this, I wish I had seen these tips earlier, so that I wouldn’t freak out every time I was put into a leadership position.

You make a very good point with this and i totally agree with everything because first off, people need to feel included in the working process. Second off, people should be assigned to what they are best at(not what they super enjoy)however if you can find a job that everyone is good at and everyone likes than your gold.

I totally agree! I am always wanting to take charge of a situation, but always end up drowning myself in work because I am unable to effectively delegate tasks. Highlighting and clearly stating your outcome sounds like a good place to start! Thanks for the tips!
