Delagation
Delegation is a technique by which managers used to take on many responsibilities at one time. Managers at times have more than a little more than they choose to have on their plates and in order to get all of their job done then it at times requires them to delegate responsibilities to other people. To me that is a way to train and develop an employee also because it gives the employee more responsibility and give them a chance to prove themselves. The four functions of management has to used in executing delegation.
Delegation requires a lot of planning on the part of the managers. A manager has to pick and choose what assignments that they want to delegate first of all because some assignments are best suited for the manager themselves to handle. Also when delegating the manager has to decide which person they want to delegate the responsibility to because of the simple fact that everyone is not capable of doing everything. At my job at times my manager delegates’ responsibilities to us and when she does she first sees what part of the assignment she wants us to do but then she makes a complete game plan. In full circle each night it is our job to make sure things get done but we appoint people called our “shift leaders” that will make sure that things are getting done and in that instance we make sure that it is the right person capable of carrying that responsibility.
Organizing is very important when delegating responsibility because you don’t want chaos in the business. When delegating assignments you want to make it VERY clear that a certain person is doing a certain tasks and that requires organization on the part of the management first. It is easy in my organization because my manger just makes sure to write everything out and make it very clear to us. At the same time we have to be very organized when are delegating assignments to be done by our server staff and so we write everything out for them so that there is no confusion...
