Delegation: Smart or Not?
Delegation may sound easy, but business owners admit that it does not come to them naturally. They said that delegating may not be as easy as one may have thought. Business owners usually worry that Virtual Executive Assistants may not be ready to take over tasks. They are not entirely comfortable granting control to someone else other than them or that Virtual Executive Assistants might say no to tasks at hand at the slightest sight of it being too technical or involved.
As a business owner, it is best if you overcome this dilemma. The sooner you overcome it, the better- not just for your business but for your own sake, too. Delegating tasks to Virtual Executive Assistants or Project Managers may take a considerable chunk of your stress. Delegating more tasks to them will also create more free time for you. You will now have the power to make sure that you spend more time speaking to existing clients or possible clients. You will not have to hurry meetings with them because you now have a team who can function on your behalf. You will now also have spare time to do the things you enjoy- it could be a hobby you have put aside for who knows how long now, it could be spending time with your loved ones at the theme park or a beach, or it could be spending more time for yourself.
When you delegate tasks to Virtual Executive Assistants and Project Managers, you create a healthy relationship with your team. They will feel that you trust them; in return, it is a sure shot to have better productivity. Improvement of their skills will also be quick once you introduce more tasks to them. When you delegate, your team will have a sense of involvement. Studies show that when you expose your team to the technicalities of your system, the more efficient the business flow will be.
Now, when you delegate, make sure that you set specific, reasonable, and calculable expectations. When you have these guidelines, it is a guarantee that your system will work perfectly.
Avoid delegating too confidential information, such as a comprehensive breakdown of your business finances. Simple bookkeeping is alright. Try to avoid delegating tasks that require your expertise to elude wrong decisions and misunderstandings.
