QUESTION 29 OF 30

Tell me about how you delegate effectively.

Effective delegation is based on clear, concise, and thorough communication. You must define the task and the desired outcome, as well as the timeframe in which it must be done. You should then ask the person to explain the task in their own words to ensure understanding. If appropriate, ask the person to check in with you a quarter of the way through the task so that you can provide feedback on whether or not they're headed in the right direction.

"I would tell my team member what they need to achieve and why, then I'd tell them how to do it and when they need to do it by. I'll ask them to explain the task back to me. If they got it right, then I'll tell them to check in with me after doing some of the work, so that I can see if they're doing it right. If they are, then they can go full speed ahead."
