Why managers do not delegate?,
By
This review is from: Delegating: Pass the right tasks on to the right people and everyone will benefit (Paperback)
Why managers do not delegate? This question is considered by the book and this is a serious question. An answer could be "because they do not know how" or "because they fear that they might not be necessary anymore if someone can replace them". These are very important reasons that de-motivate managers to be effective. And the book considers these answers along with the other answers too.Delegating can be the powerful way to positively affect one's day-to-day work and the personal life leaving more space for self-development and helping in establishing better working atmosphere. This small book explains what the delegating is and why it is necessary for a manager. The big advantage of this publication is that it is written in an understandable manner, i.e. it has clear and comprehensive structure, step-by-step descriptions, consistent design and finally lack of redundant discussions and stories but a set of useful advices instead. To prevent a reader from throwing the book away if having anti-arguments, special sub-sections suggest the reader a set of common mistaken views at the problem making it possible to verify them against the reader's view. Finally the book helps in understanding of advantages of delegating explaining that: * Delegating is not a simple forwarding of your work to someone else * Delegating is also not a forwarding of your responsibility - the responsibility is still yours * Delegating can significantly improve one's effectiveness * Delegating can be useful for the employees who took the delegated tasks over * Delegating can be useful or harmful and thus requires careful planning * Delegating can help in team development * Delegating should be done taking into account the aspect of human relations The book "Delegating" impressed me with its clear and comprehensive manner to deliver positive ideas about basics of management. It is definitely a practical guide and I am thankful to the author for that.
