Delegating Tasks (34 minutes)
These days, we're all overwhelmed. We can't make more time, and our professional obligations aren't going away. The only answer is delegation. Delegation is key for managers as you ascend in your organization. But even if you're just starting out and don't have any direct reports, there will be times you'll need to delegate to colleagues-which can be awkward. Learn the right way to get help and still maintain your high-quality standards. Dorie Clark explains how to build the right mindset to delegate work without micromanaging it. She then reviews three methods for delegating: hiring a dedicated resource, delegating to a direct report, or using someone outside the chain of command. She shows how to follow up on tasks you've delegated, and take appropriate action when someone makes a mistake. Plus, learn how delegation can help scale your impact and achieve more in years to come.

Deep and deliberate delegation: A new art for unleashing talent and winning back time
Author: Dave Stitt
Summary: We think we know what delegation is but few of us actually do it well, or even at all. Instead of deliberately growing new capability in the people around us, we too often hoard responsibility to protect our turf, or micromanage, or indiscriminately dump tasks. It leads, says Dave Stitt in this compact and sharply observed meditation, to burned out managers, bored or swamped staff, and choke points in teams and organisations. Delving into the anatomy of effective delegation, and offering fresh insights into issues of trust, motivation, communication and accountability, Stitt develops a set of approaches and techniques for empowering and inspiring people around us so that great things can start happening right away, even if it’s not us doing them.

Delegation and Supervision (The Brian Tracy Success Library)
Author: Brian Tracy
Summary: 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.

In this book, success expert Brian Tracy reveals time-tested ways any manager can use to boost the performance and productivity of their employees.

Define work, assign it, and set measurable, targeted standards for performance
Match skills to job requirements

Monitor, control, and keep on top of projects with minimum effort
