Employees Unite!

In management, success depends on the ability to get results through people. But to get the best results, you have to unite your employees.

Delegation provides an excellent opportunity to harness employees’ talents, expertise, interests, and enthusiasm to achieve a common goal. In short, delegation is a group thing.

But delegation is about much more than just handing out assignments and responsibilities. You have to understand that all people—including your employees—want to feel a sense of purpose, to be valued, and to be part of something bigger than themselves.

Delegation can fulfill each of these needs when you assign project tasks and responsibilities based on team members’ varying expertise and talents. This shows you trust them, you want their involvement, and recognize what they each have to offer. It also sends the same message to others on the team and outside of the team.

When you demonstrate your employees are valued and appreciated you will increase their overall commitment to whatever it is you’re working to achieve.
