Chances are your organization has experienced some type of downsizing or budget constraints. There are many consequences of these changes, but the most important, of course, is the additional stress on you.
But it does not have to be too painful. It forces you to become a more efficient project manager - a better delegator. Start working on this in earnest right away.
- Look over all options for giving others more responsibility.
- Delegate to the most capable first. They are waiting to show their stuff so as not to be laid off.
- Provide clear instructions on the results desired.
- Ensure delegatees have all resources needed to complete the job.
- Monitor work without hovering.
- Be ready to coach as needed.
- Next, delegate more to the less capable using same techniques, but with more coaching. (You have more time, because of your previous delegation.)
Even if you are experienced in delegating, take this time to improve your abilities. Add to your skills in areas of coaching and identifying good candidates for delegating work. Before you know it, you will have much more time to put out the fires caused by the latest cuts.
