"Why You Should Delegate

The introduction to this training module is a great example of why a team leader should delegate. Only when the leader of the LL2 began to delegate did the team reach success. This section discusses the benefits of delegation for you, and your team members. (We acknowledge that while there were numerous barriers to delegation, the benefits far outweigh any perceived disadvantages.)
By the end of this section, you should:
  • Understand why delegation is an essential part of being a leader.
  • Recognize the important benefits of delegation.
  • Start to think of ways that you may delegate to your team.


Benefits For You

The following three benefits are ones that are directed toward the team leader.

Save Time

As a leader, you must take time to think about goals, not just activities. As the LL2 leader learned, she had to give herself no tasks so that she could spend time managing her team. Let your teammates pick up the routine tasks like scheduling meetings and calling speakers. It is unwise to spend your time doing tasks that your team members are capable of completing themselves.

Achieve More

By not delegating, you place a heavy burden on yourself. Like the LL2 leader, eventually you may become so overwhelmed that your performance and your health suffer. Even though she had given herself all of the tasks, none of them were complete! Delegating routine work will relieve some of your stress and give you more time to do your job.

Increase Your Value

Delegating can help enhance your credibility as a leader. By allowing your teammates new ways to show their responsibility, you get their respect and loyalty. Having extra time will allow you to look for more challenging tasks that can increase the value of the activities you are planning."
