Leaders in the top 10% of delegators also have teams who are 29% more highly engaged and 22% more likely to stay in their jobs. \u2013 FranklinCovey Insights\n<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n

One of the most overlooked skills that leaders have to master is delegation. As a new leader, it can be difficult to let go of the DIY mindset. In fact, many leaders believe, \u201cI can do it better and faster myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

But great leaders understand the power of leverage<\/strong>. They know that when they activate the talents of their team members, everyone can achieve more together. By learning to effectively match assignments to their people based on skill, will, and time, they can focus on supporting the gaps and aligning shared expectations to unleash performance for the entire team.<\/p>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/span>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Take a trip on the Delegator Elevator\u2122<\/h2>

Effective delegation requires leaders to determine how much or the type of support to give each team member. Once you\u2019ve identified the skill level of each team member, you can use our Delegator Elevator tool to match their skill level to the appropriate persona and level of support needed. Based on the support you provide, you\u2019ll elevate your team\u2019s skills and autonomy over time\u2014helping them go from the proverbial ground floor to the penthouse. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n
