I frequently hear executives and managers tell me: “I tried delegating and they didn’t do it. So, I still end up having to do it myself. Why do I even bother?"   The answers is simple: You are NOT merely delegating and hoping your people take on accountability. YOU are LEARNING TO LEAD by learning to get things done through other people.   Throughout a career, delegation is a learned skill just like riding a bike or playing piano. You and I don’t know how to get others to do things because we are still learning the skill and the mindset!!!   Many leaders assume that their teams SHOULD just be like robots, and when you command them to do something they just respond. The fact is that just like you are learning to lead your people, they are learning to follow and be responsible.   The ability to delegate is limited when we tell ourselves: --I am the one accountable. My name is on the line. I have to make this happen. --I can’t trust these people. --They won’t do it as good as me --There is a timeline and I can make it happen. --They just aren’t ready. --The quality has to be there. --This is an important client.   Ok…Yes its true there are moments to step in. But is doing it yourself and condemning others a habit for you?   Reminders to improve your delegation: 1. Frame the problem and give more context (this the is heart of good delegation) 2. Ask what obstacles your people are facing that would inhibit getting the new task done 3. Create appropriate check in's with you 4. Make training available 5. Ask what they need from you to make sure they can get the task done   And finally, talk with other leaders with more experience to learn how they let go. Every leader has had to make the journey at each level of their career. It's learnable! Embrace your pit of success.   If you need a partner on the journey, consider 1:1 coaching or one of leadership programs. www.learnablesolutions.com Dave Ulrich Clint Betts Neil Hunter Destanee Casillas, MSOD Gwendolyn F.

We have all lived the experience or know friends that have left a company because of the manager they worked for or the culture that lack of leadership creates throughout the whole organization. Engagement, motivation and productivity all suffer in these situations. Most managers have had little to no formal development. The real ROI on that development can be seen through greatly reduced team turnover, team engagement and all the quality and output measures you can think of. Having the right leader in place can be essential for any organization to reach its goals and objectives. But having leaders at all levels is even more important. While some organizations may already have individuals with the potential to lead, it's critical to develop them into effective, forward-thinking leaders with empathy and accountability. Leadership development programs are designed to help pre-existing or potential leaders develop the skills and qualities needed to be an effective leader. These programs provide individuals with the tools they need to become confident, knowledgeable, and respected in their organizations. Leadership development isn't just about theory. It's about providing individuals with the tools and resources to become great leaders. By leveraging strong leadership development programs, organizations can equip their teams with the skills necessary to thrive in today's ever-changing business landscape. So if you're looking to build strong leaders at all levels of your organization, now is the time to invest in leadership development programs!
