Recently, Liz Strauss asked me via e-mail:

How do you delegate responsibility to inspire the best performance from people you work with?

and she asked the same question to a dozen other leaders and managers as well. The result was 7 tips for effectively delegating work.

In no particular order, they are:

1. Know the Outcome You Want
2. Work with and Trust the Right People
3. Set Clear Expectations
4. Let People Know Why You’re Counting on Their Performance
5. Be There After the Assignment
6. Value Great Performance
7. Remember to Delegate Even When You Don’t Want To
