owner can make is failing to dele gate responsibility to employees if youre like many ownermanagers delegation may be a hard move to make your business may represent- such a substantial investment of per sonal time energy and money that it is difficult to entrust anyone with its care and really believe they can guide it in the proper direction without instruc tions at every turn nevertheless delegation is essential to success of a business and is especial ly crucial to managing the growing con cern besides improving the efficiency of a business on a daytoday basis de legation provides a number of long- term benefits it is a key element of time manage ment it allows the ownermanager to concentrate efforts on high priority areas these are the areas crucial to the success of the business financial and market planning for example which only the ownermanager can handle it is a prime management develop ment tool and is an important part of planning for succession as your em ployees develop through managing va rious aspects of the business they will be able to accept more and higher levels of responsibility the top job will be much easier to fill when the time comes it

informed when a task or functon is delegated otherwise people may challenge the authority of the em ployee concerned define the authority the extent of authority you allow employees in deci sionmaking will depend entirely on the operation and the individual however in all situations the limits of authority should be clearly defined ie you should identify those situations in which inde pendent decisions can be made and also define those which require prior approval while you should entrust key em ployees with enough authority that their initiatie is not restricted you should also emphasize that with authority com es accountability act as advisor to ensure that em ployees are aware of the whole business picture and that they make decisions within that framework it will be neces sary from
