Ever invested your energy into thoroughly delegating something, only to be met with subpar results?
James, a dedicated leader, encountered this exact challenge - despite detailed guidance and support, the delegated work missed the mark (again), leaving him in a weekend work-crunch and a confidence crisis about his leadership skills.
Continuous support, coaching and direction is vital, but it also can't be infinite if nothing changes.
When consistent efforts don’t yield improvement, it’s a signal to pivot strategies.
It may less about your delegation skills and more about needing a different diagnosis. What else might be going on?
▪️ Does the person have the skill/training/time/resources to get it done?
▪️ Do they have the confidence, or are they nodding yes and then freeze and procrastinate?
▪️ Are they OK? Is there something else going personally that is getting in their way?
▪️ Is there actually a performance issue at play than needs to be addressed head on?
Once you diagnose the problem, you can make a plan to do something about it.
If you've experienced this, what did you do differently?
