Denise,
Task delegation is a great skill to have and one that takes time to be successful at. Delegating tasks leads to “organizational efficiency, employee development, and overall success” (Association for Women in Science [AWIS], 2024). There are key strategies to delegating tasks properly, as you don’t want to overwhelm those you are delegating to. One strategy is ensuring your team knows how to do the task and understands your expectations (AWIS, 2024). This will ensure neither of you becomes frustrated or disappointed. Another good strategy is delegating tasks based on your team members’ strengths (Landry, 2020). This approach will likely benefit you and them because they feel empowered, motivated, and engaged to produce results.
Best wishes to you!

Denise,
I could also benefit from developing my delegating abilities. When I work as a charge nurse at my current job, we have a team nursing model without assignments, which means delegating is very important. Without a strong ability to delegate, if nurses and medical assistants are not self-motivated, tasks will not be completed efficiently. Delegation can help develop team members since you are allowing them to enhance their skills and competence. This can also show other team members that you value and respect them since you are confident in handing over that task (Baker & Murphy, 2022). One way to ensure your responsibility strength does not impede you is to allow others to take some ownership to help with their growth (CliftonStrengths, 2024). Another suggestion to build on your responsibility strength is to continue volunteering for responsibilities even if you do not have experience in that area (CliftonStrengths, 2024).
