(SHORT
NOTES FROM TEAM MANAGEMENT: Delegating Effectively at http://www.mindtools.com)
Teaching Your Team to Be More Independent
It's important for managers to be a
resource to those they lead. But it's easy for teams to take advantage of this.
Over time, they can develop "manager dependency." Team members often become dependent on their
manager because of micromanagement. Let
team members take responsibility and ownership of tasks.
In any team sport, a lot of time is
spent choosing the players who will play in each game. Leaders need to select the right people for
the right jobs, and assign them tasks that fit with their skills and
proficiencies. This provides structure.
First you need to understand the game
that has to be played and the skills and abilities required to play. Then you have to place the correct player in
the correct position.
