Delegate

• Leaders don’t do everything themselves.
• They delegate or give some tasks to other people within their group or team.
• They communicate clearly what needs to be done, and then make sure that jobs are completed.
• Effective leaders give positive feedback to others letting them know when they have done well, and what they need to do to improve.
• Good delegators let others know about the group goals when giving tasks.
• Good delegators also take on tasks themselves and try to match jobs with the most appropriate people.
