Let it go! O'Connor Marketing Reveal How to Master the Art of Delegation

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, August 24, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Here, O'Connor Marketing share their top tips to help entrepreneurs master delegation.

For every entrepreneur, handing over even the smallest task related to their business is often a terrifying prospect. After working so hard and dedicating so much time to building their dream, the idea of letting someone else take some of the responsibility is hard to deal with. However, for the business to continue to grow and for an entrepreneur to stay on top of their game, delegation is vital. By refusing to delegate entrepreneurs run the risk of missing out on great opportunities in favour of focusing their time on daily admin and menial tasks that play only a small part in the business' development. A failure to delegate can also ramp up the pressure for an entrepreneur, increasing their workload and leaving them susceptible to burn out and stress-related illness.

Finding the right person
Delegation will never work unless an entrepreneur is 100% certain the person they are handing responsibility over to is capable of performing the task to a high standard. Looking past positions can help an entrepreneur focus on a person's skills and attitude alone - which will allow them to hone in on the right person for the job.

Stop believing you're the only one who can do the job
Just because a person has a different way of working doesn't mean they won't be able to handle the job. Entrepreneurs need to accept that not everyone will work in the same way they do, and that that doesn't reflect on the quality or consistency of the work produced.

Provide clear instructions
Entrepreneurs need to explain exactly what they want done and ensure the person they are delegating to fully understands what is expected of them. Without this confirmation, any potential mishaps will fall on the shoulders of the entrepreneur, not the person completing the work.

Teach skills
Delegating is about letting others stretch their skills and judgment, allowing them to broaden their horizons and take on greater responsibility. As such, entrepreneurs need to understand that learning new skills sometimes includes making mistakes and that trying should never be punished. Instead they should focus on the effort an individual has made and the sense of pride that comes from helping others develop.
