Beware of reverse delegation:
Reverse delegation is a term that describes a situation whereby a manager delegates a task to his or her direct report, but only to take it back, for one reason or another, to work on it sometime later. There are two ways, forced and unforced, that this may take place. In the forced way, the push back comes directly from the direct report that received the delegated task, whereas in the unforced way, the manager voluntarily takes back the delegated task and work on it. Regardless of whether it is forced or unforced, when it occurs, it reflects an ineffective delegation from a weak leadership. Here are some tricks from by experienced entrepreneurs and teachers on forced reverse delegation :
1. The right replies can help you avoid letting your staff control your schedule with reverse delegation .
2.Reverse try : "Before I go ahead, I need you to look at this to see if it is all right" You can answer : "I'm confident in you. Please proceed. Just keep me informed of any problems and tell me your plan to deal with it".
2.Reverse try : "When do you think you will be able to consider X and approve it?" You can answer : "I'll will consider X when it will be a higher priority to me. Right now, I am considering Y"."I think I will be in over my head on this". You can answer : "I need you to manage this project. Her is what we are trying to achieve..and I will determine if you succeed or fail....If you hit any snags, see Philippe or Cécile. If I don't hear from you, I will assume you are on target".
Some bonus tips for becoming better delegates:-
1. Let Out Your Inner Socrates.
2. Remind Them That You Trust Them to Find Solutions
3. Offer to Help Evaluate Solutions
4. Offer Ideas in Real Time
