414: Delegating in a Way that Give You the Results You are Looking For

The Business Brain

Are you finding it challenging to delegate effectively?

Unsure about what tasks to delegate or how to ensure they are carried out to your satisfaction? Do you often feel disappointed because nobody does it as well as you do?

If these struggles sound familiar, you may be facing difficulties related to cognitive deficiency, such as labeling or precision, as discussed in our enlightening episodes 403 & 404.

But there's more to successful delegation than meets the eye. To excel in delegation, you must possess a critical thinking skill known as conserving constancies. This skill involves recognizing the essential attributes that must remain consistent for an object to retain its identity.

Take the example of a square. It's characterized by having four sides of equal length and four right angles. Regardless of its color or size, as long as these attributes hold true, it remains a square. However, the moment one of its sides loses its equality, it ceases to be a square, irrespective of its color or size. Consciously conserving constancies means identifying which characteristics should remain unchanged for a task to fulfill its purpose.

So, how does this concept relate to effective delegation? Well, to delegate successfully without micromanaging or enduring constant stress over the outcome, you must clearly define for yourself and the person you are delegating to, which aspects of the task require specific attention.

Certain tasks demand precise execution to achieve the desired results. On the other hand, there are tasks that allow for slight variations while still achieving comparable or even superior outcomes. By understanding these nuances, you can delegate with confidence and clarity.
