Delegate and grow your own as well as other careers
What is delegation?
It is when one is able to give the work you do not enjoy doing to another who does enjoy doing that work, but you stay responsible for getting the job done on time. Successful delegation is when another person excels in their careers because they enjoy doing the work you do not enjoy doing. Read more on the practical application of this process on the Explanation page...
An example:
When we were learning from Hewlett Packard, an HP manager was expected to assist in the promotion of at least two people, from their team, into position higher than his/her own. HP managers transferred their skills through delegating work to those in their team, always keeping responsibility for the work to be done on time. Never abdicating, always delegating.
This ensured the people in Hewlett Packard kept on developing and growing their careers. Inherently Hewlett Packard as a company developed and expanded as well! Hewlett Packard is a greenhouse for developing the careers of its people.
Coaching session implementing delegation:
The team leader for the Alephsynergy is Unre. A member of this team is Nicholas. Aleph publishes the knowledge of successful people and companies on the internet. Unre wants the process of Find a Career Coach written and published as soon as possible. He does not just abdicate the responsibility of getting this process published; he guides when Nicholas gets stuck and is always available to answer questions. The ultimate responsibility of getting the page published remains with Unre.
Unre:
Nicholas, the process of Find a Career Coach needs to be published on the Career Builder web site.
Nicholas:
I have the skills to package and publish the Find a Career Coach process; I do not have the necessary in depth knowledge on career coaching to package this knowledge on my own though.
Unre:
With the team of career coaches at Career Builder we have all the coaching knowledge necessary to complete this process. Ask them to help you build this process, I will assist as well.
Nicholas:
How would I go about getting this knowledge from the team of Career Builder coaches?
Unre:
Make appointments with each coach. Every one of them is experts in a certain aspect of career building. They have had unique experiences in building their own careers and are currently focused on specific areas of building businesses and careers. Learn what these specific areas of career and business building skills are and package this knowledge into the Find a Career Coach process.
Nicholas:
How would I get this knowledge from them?
Unre:
Use the questioning and listening skills from the Walk and Talk guide. If you don’t fully understand how to implement these skills effectively, come to me with your questions.
Unre does not enjoy writing and clarifying information. He delegates these functions to Nicholas who does enjoy doing this. Nicholas lacks the in-depth knowledge concerning the Find a Career Coach process and relies on Unre and the rest of the expert team to supply this information. The process of Find a Career Coach gets written and clarified.
Unre will be available for questions concerning the Find a Career Coach process. There will be new skills Nicholas needs to learn in order to complete the Find a Career Coach project successfully. Even if he does not ask questions, Unre will set a specific time aside on a regular basis for coaching and mentoring; expecting Nicholas to bring a few, never before asked questions to these meetings.
