Are you one of those people who doesn’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be done? Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way. They
34. don't believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can. It is not surprising
35. that they then get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have far too much
36. to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,
37. they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing
38. them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the
39. company. If managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and
40. committed. Asking staff to make the decisions improves their efficiency and morale.
41. This will contribute itself not only to the success of the team, but to the success of
42. the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good a person's
43. managerial skills are, which is useful when those candidates are considered for
44. the promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and providing them with the
45. opportunity to do so well is therefore an essential management skill in the workplace of today.
