This was a great course in delegating tasks/responsibilities to further strengthen my team's ability to reach higher goals and grow as a team.
I enjoyed Mary M.'s comment on feeling guilty. It is a easy problem that can trip up your ability to coach and support your employees, and thus grow them to be better assets to the company.
It goes a long way toward building their self-confidence in their work.
Comment on Maria Ruiz's post: I agree with your comment. I feel it is important to grow team members to strengthen the company. It also gives you an opportunity to open yourself to upward mobility as openings occur.

I've learned how important it is to not intrude after delegating a task, and how to recognize when I am doing this.
It is interesting to learn that in general, task delegation is not easy for managers. There were so many important tips included to effectively delegate tasks. However, the main point is that task delegation important for many reasons. First, it allows managers to focus on higher profile tasks without overloading themselves with work. Second, it allows staff the opportunity to demonstrate their strengths, commitment and desire to grow within the company. Also, it is important to allow staff to cross train and be able to support management in their absences.
The many different ways to effectively delegate will be very helpful as I continue to try to improve in this skill set.

In order to delegate, you have to be willing to accept responsibility for the final product. With this said, Choosing the right person(s) for the task and the correct task is integral to the final outcome. One also has to be willing to coash without micromanaging.
