How to Lead and Delegate More Effectively with Dave Kerpen

How well do you delegate? Do you struggle to hand things off? Can you hand over tasks, but watch your team with an eagle eye? Neither of those will build organizational success. Kevin sits down with Dave Kerpen to explore the art of delegation, discussing why many leaders struggle with it and how to do it more effectively. Dave shares the five C's of effective delegation: 1. Choose Carefully: Select the right person or team for the task based on skill and fit, not just proximity or convenience. 2. Communicate Clearly: Clearly outline the expected outcome, allowing the individual to determine the best path to achieve it. Include the 'why' to provide context and purpose. 3. Coach and Cheer: Act more as a coach than a manager, offering support and guidance rather than micromanaging. 4. Check in Regularly: Establish a routine for check-ins to provide feedback and make course corrections as needed without overwhelming the delegate with constant updates. 5. Congratulate: Celebrate successes and provide constructive feedback to encourage improvement and acknowledge good work.
