"Delegating to the strengths of my team is undoubtedly my favorite approach to maximizing my team's efficiency. Learning to let go and delegate tasks is one factor to efficiency; however, delegating to strengths is even more impactful. As a Product Manager for the past eight years, I have tried many different approaches to optimize time and work as efficiently as possible. Time and time again, I have found the best approach to be the proper delegation of tasks. Delegating seems like a simple task; however, it takes a lot of practice and consideration to be executed properly. I always encourage my team to collaborate, and I actively empower every member to show the team where they can shine. When everyone is focused on tasks that highlight their greatest skills, we generate results faster and with higher quality outcomes. I believe this approach is well-suited for the team culture at Amazon, where the focus is on hiring and developing the best. When I recognize a team member's talent, and I am ready to delegate to those talents, we will generate much higher quality results for the company and its customers."
