Check if the person you delegate the task is not overloaded

Overload will hardly stimulate your employee productivity

If you add one more task to the person who is overloaded, it won't help you to accomplish the work but will make him feel more stress. This feeling will hardly stimulate him working faster and more effective. That's why you should be careful while delegating tasks to other people. Task management software can help you make the delegation more effective and productive.

Delegate to the right person in the right time

Make sure the employee who you assign the task to can do it today at all. Track his or her today task list to analyze the estimated time of all his existing tasks, their priority and performance status. Maybe it's better to delegate this task to another person who is also able to do it, has enough knowledge and skills for this particular task and is less busy at that moment. Or wait if it's possible till the next day when your employee has much time to focus on this new task.
