7 Practical Ways Entrepreneurs Can Delegate

7 Practical Ways Entrepreneurs Can Delegate 

                    

Entrepreneurs are very busy people. Their schedule and to-do- list are choked. This is the more reason why they should delegate because they cannot do everything on their own. If you do not delegate, you will experience entrepreneurial burnout.

In line with this, these are the effective ways entrepreneurs can delegate.

Know your team’s strengths and weaknesses
                 

You do not just delegate tasks to your employees. Your decision to assign them duties must be based on their strength and weaknesses. Hence, it is important to know your workers so that they won’t fumble.

Include instructions
                 

For every task you delegate, do not forget to include instructions on how to get them done. This will make it easier for them to achieve the task. If you do not have time to always dish out instructions, you can take time out to train them on your modus operandi.

Ensure goals understandabl
                   

Whatever you want your workers to achieve, ensure that it is plain, direct and unambiguous. Also, encourage them to reach out to you if they are having troubles achieving the goals.

Push yourself to delegate
              

A substantial number of entrepreneurs have the tendency of wanting to do everything on their own. However, sooner rather than later, you have no choice than to abdicate certain responsibilities. You cannot run a hotel alone. You have to get people to man different positions and delegate responsibilities to them.

Trust, but clarify and verify
               

They have completed the job. You trust them to have done a good job. However, you should not just accept it like that, You should cross check what they have done for mistakes, corrections, and additions.

 Set reasonable deadlines
          

Set a reasonable deadline for your employees to meet. This will make them work quicker and faster and they will deliver on schedule.

       Feedback
         

You are not a dictator. So, you should give and receive feedback for a job done. In addition, always compliment your workers.

Rarely does one individual impact the world so much that nearly four decades after his death, he continues to influence several generations after him. Thirty six years after his death at the age of thirty six,  Bob Marley  still casts a powerful shadow across music, pop culture and social justice; perhaps like no other musician has done before or after him. On May 11 1981,  Robert Nesta Marley  breathed his last in a Miami hospital having spent the previous four years first ignoring, then fighting the cancer and brain tumour that cut short his life. Born on his grandfather’s farm in the Jamaican country side in 1945 to an eighteen year old girl and a sixty year old British plantation overseer, Bob Marley was a child prodigy who would go on to be the most powerful and most important person in ...
