Decide when to delegate

Make a list of the things you have to do. Set aside those that absolutely must be done by you personally. Analyze what tasks are left. It is important that you choose the right person for the job. In todays economic stress, organizations are faced with downsizing, re-engineering and rightsizing. It is important to identify the objective.

Ask yourself which tasks would be performed more efficiently by others. It is crucial to pass on tasks base on the person's ability and experience. If someone else can do the job quicker, better or at a lower cost to the company than you, delegate it, unless it's something you should be learning to do yourself. So if must delegate, it must be well-planned, well-communicate and well-implemented.
