把授權看作是一個教導員工的機會

對於許多管理者來說，授權最困難的部分就是相信任務會做得很好。但當你把它看作是一個培訓員工的機會時，它會變得更容易，而不僅僅是擺脫一些工作。

下一次你需要授權的時候，首先要確定你的團隊中誰準備好承擔更多的責任。然後創建簡單的任務來幫助他們學習他們需要的技能。

例如，如果你想讓某人主持一個周例會，讓他們練習這個過程的每一個部分：一周，他們可以創建一個議程，你將檢討這個議程。接下來，他們可以看你主持會議，有很多機會提問。最終，他們將準備好自己主持會議，之後您可以提供回饋。

這種教學可能會很費時，但它會為您的團隊準備好承擔更複雜的工作，一遍走的更長久。

Think of Delegating as a Chance to Teach Your Employees

For many managers, the most difficult part of delegation is the belief that the task will be done well. But it becomes easier when you think of it as a chance to train your staff, not just get rid of some work.

Next time you need to delegate authority, first determine who on your team is ready to handle more responsibility. Then create simple tasks to help them learn the skills they need.

For example, if you want someone to chair a weekly meeting and ask them to practice every part of the process: One week, they can create an agenda, which you will review that agenda. Next, they can watch you run the meeting and have a lot of opportunities to ask questions. Ultimately, they will be ready to chair the meeting themselves, after which you can provide feedback.

This kind of teaching can be time-consuming, but it will go a long way toward preparing your team for more-complex work.
