When Delegating



Describing the desired results is important. Describing the results which are undesirable can be even more important. Once both of those have been done and it is clear that the person knows what you want, what you do not want, and when you want it, then make sure they have sufficient resources and get out of their way.

After getting out of the way, I would wander by occasionally to make sure that your assumptions about resources, ability, and understanding were correct, so that you make sure that understanding turns into the performance you expect.

Wally,

Excellent point. I should have put in my rant about the beauty of interim deadlines.
