Do You Have to Do It Yourself to Get It Done Right?

You have way too much to do. If only your staff could take on some of this work, you wouldn’t have to do it all yourself…

The ability to effectively delegate is probably one of the five the most important and powerful skills that you can learn over your career. If you’re a middle manager (red tie below) managing four line managers (black ties in middle lower groups of five below) and your line managers can’t delegate, you’re really managing twenty people. And that just doesn’t work.

Managerial leverage is the ability for one manager to manage four middle managers versus managing twenty employees on their own.

A Three-Factor Approach to Mastering the Management/Leadership Role

Based on over forty years of research, there are three key factors that determine leadership/management effectiveness. If these three factors are managed effectively, you’ll be successful at managing large numbers of people 90% of the time.

  1. Role Concept – The way you think you are expected to behave in your new role.
  2. Role Skills – Your interpersonal and administrative managerial/leadership skills including your ability to delegate.
  3. Your Inner Game of Management* (Managerial Psychology) – How you manage your need for control, your source of self-esteem, and your need to be liked.

Our role skills content includes a detailed four step process to consistently and successfully delegate tasks.
