授權、授權、授權！

大多數的主管總是抱怨工作量太大，但是他們之中只有少數人能夠做到有效的授權。事實上，授權管理是最常被忽視與未得到充分運用的管理技能。

以下作法能夠協助你提高授權的能力：

1. 明確問題。你也許沒有認知到你不需要囤積工作。檢討一下一些警告信號。例如，為何你總是需要加班工作，而你的員工卻可以準時下班？
2. 認清團隊工作安排。隨時檢討你的團隊發展目標，以便找出有哪些工作你可以授權下去。建立一份工作分配清單，讓你知道每個人被賦予的工作，讓你知道如何調配每個人的工作。
3. 讓別人提醒你做授權。讓你的直屬部下有權力提醒你，將一些可以授權的工作授權下去。

Authorization, Authorization, Authorization!

Most executives complain that the workload is too heavy, but only a few of them can effectively delegate authority. In fact, authorization management is the most often overlooked and underutilized management skill.

The following can help you improve your empowerment ability:

1. Define the problem. You may not realize that you don't need to hoard work. Review some warning signs. For example, why do you always need to work overtime while your employees can leave on time?
2. Recognize team work arrangements. Review your team's development goals at any time to find out what work you can delegate. Create a job assignment list to let you know what each person is given and how to allocate each person's work.
3. Let others remind you to delegate authority. Let your subordinates have the power to remind you to delegate some authorized work.
