"Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,
Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee;
Sounds of the rude world heard in the day,
Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away"

Read an article this morning by Justin Tyme that really struck a chord with me. It was titled 'Share the Workload - Delegation is a useful tool to increase productivity and train employees'. How true is that? I realised that oftentimes it is true. Delegation is a useful tool but also an important art for all employers or managers to have to master. And I emphasize the word HAVE TO. After all, managers and those above you are hired to solve problems, not create more problems for you isn't it? Some do delegate the work but perhaps in a pretty or very much lop-sided fashion... Food for thought... who first comes to ur mind? Haha.

Oh wells... Anyways, the following are excerpts from the article. Check it out. Do I see u nodding fervently away? Haha!

" The inability to delegate is one of the most common problems of managers. Management and leadership are all about getting results by organizing and supervising a workforce.

Poor delegation or no delegation is inefficient and expensive. And the worst thing about not delegating is that managers are losing wonderful training opportunities for their workers.

Managers have many reasons for not delegating:
- They feel at ease doing routine tasks rather than supervising the work of others
- They are not familiar with the skills of their workers and are therefore unsure of other people's ability to take more responsibility
- They hate correcting other people's work; and
- They know they can do some things better than others.

Delegating is hard work, but it is work that is needed to help an organization grow and improve...
However, many managers still limit their own effectiveness, create imbalances in the organization, waste their department's time and energies, and fail to develop their subordinates by either ignoring or mismanaging the techniques of delegation."

So managers out there, u guys had better take heed before good employees under you decide to raise the white flag as they'd had enough.
