Episode D4.011 (NA) The Reward for Competence is Delegation

IBGR - RESULTS Radio Network. Everything a business owner needs to start, grow or exit a business. Come grow with us.

Introduction
One the hardest or most difficult things we find for business owners to adjust to is the art of delegation. Business owners typically know how to do most things associated with the business and can do it the best (or at least we think we can).  Today’s show will speak into how we, as business owners, can utilize the competence displayed and demonstrated within our teams to begin to entrust and delegate appropriately.

Show Objectives

1. Gain an understanding of recognizing competence
2. Implementing ‘degrees of delegation’
3. Understand how delegation is a method of reward

Key Issues

1. delegation with current position - allow for autonomy, 
2. delegate next level tasks as a reward and training for promotion,
3. shift jobs - make them boss for a day

What You Need to Do

1. Effectively utilize performance metrics to gauge competence
2. Reward competence with increased delegation
3. Remember to avoid turning delegation into a punishment (employees no longer view competence as a win)
