To make sure that task is effectively delegated and will not cause serious problems from the side of employee you need to do following:
- In advance, before task delegation, define difficulties that may arise (take into account previous experience of task performance);
- In advance assess tasks and on the stage of delegation, together with employee, decide where your help will be necessary;
- Share your experience and important information regarding delegated task with subordinate;
- Advise and direct, only if employee asks you;
- Focus on results, instead of methods of results achievement;
- Define for the subordinate, in what cases he/she can resort to your help (for example in the case of some unexpected problems which can cause task delay);
