Control the tasks that you delegate

Delegate the task, but not the reminder about it

There is an abundant situation that the task is delegated to the employee and is forgotten by the leader. But it isn't enough to assign the task to particular employee and explain the details and expected results of this task. A competent team leader should constantly control the accomplishment of the task that he/she delegated to, remind the employee about it and inquire about its state. In such a way the team members will remember about the task priority and importance and do their best to avoid procrastinations and finish the task in time.

"Control delegated tasks" To Do List

• When you delegate the tasks, record them somewhere. Otherwise you can forget about some of them
• Regularly track these tasks, ask the people they are assigned to about their state and completion degree
• If it's required remind your employees about tasks' due date
