Delegation allows you to make the best use of your time and skills, and it helps other people in the team grow and develop to reach their full potential in the organization. Delegation is a win-win situation for all involved, but only when done correctly. Keep these criteria in mind when deciding if a task should be delegated:

• The task should provide an opportunity for growth of another person’s skills.
• Weigh the effort to properly train another person against how often the task will reoccur.
• Delegating certain critical tasks may jeopardize the success of your project.
