Every time the manager decides not to delegate an issue to staff, that decision sends an unspoken message to employees. Staff members are left feeling that you:
- Don't trust them
- Do not recognize their skills and capabilities
- Do not believe that they have the capability to learn new skills and grow in their roles
Remember that every time you make a decision to delegate and involve staff you are:
- Freeing up time for you to focus on other job duties
- Building staff self-esteem and growing new leaders
- Sending a clear message to staff that teamwork is valued
- Displaying to the organization the level of trust the department has built with you in the lead
Editor's note: The above excerpt is from the online course "Nursing CE Series: Time Management & Delegation for Nurse Managers." For more information on this and other courses, visit www.hcprofessor.com.
