Key Points

  • Your sense of ownership in your work can have huge consequences in how well things unfold.
  • Self-efficacy has a large effect on your sense of ownership in your work.
  • Try to connect the job someone is doing with the overall mission of the organization.
  • The effects of micromanaging can be disastrous for an organization.
  • When delegating a job, think about the critical components of the job and what you want the result to be, then let employees get the job done however they see fit.
  • Delegation doesn’t have to be an all-in-one-shot type of thing, it can be done in stages.

Steps to delegating:

  1. Watch me do this
  2. Help me do this
  3. Let’s do this together
  4. I’ll help you do this
  5. I’ll watch you do this.
