    Setting expectations during delegation

    Low effort

    High impact

    There is mounting evidence to suggest that delegating responsibilities increases productivity, morale and even revenue, yet it takes some finetuning to get right. It isn’t easy to hand over the reins or quell the feeling that you could do a better job yourself. Clearly setting expectations can alleviate your anxiety and give your employees the best chance of succeeding.

    Why this metric?

    Following up with your employee at a later date allows you to check that they had all the information they needed.
