It is virtually impossible to always hire the best individual, but we do our best to get the best individual available at the time\/place. Zhuge Liang, a famous Chinese strategist (ironically one of the worst delegators of all time in practice) did have considerable insights on the subject of delegation, whether or not he practiced what he preached. As General Zhuge stated: \u201cOne of the eight evils is inability to delegate authority to the wise and the good in times of order.\u201d Perhaps that is why most of his military campaigns failed miserably? Two other quotes attributed to Zhuge resonate with me: \u201cThe Sixth way of knowing people is to give them tasks to do within a specific time, to see how trustworthy they are.\u201d and \u201cTherefore the Way (Dao) of leadership puts education and direction before punishment. To send people to war without education is tantamount to throwing them away.\u201d Delegation is one of the best teaching tools, and one of the best trust-builders for an organization.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nixhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/delegation-3-2.png?w=819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">I wasn\u2019t always convinced of delegation\u2019s effectiveness. Once of my better learning moments was in conversation with a supervisor. She had delegated a (two-year) project to me, and we were exceeding expectations after the first six-month evaluation. Her concerns were, however, that I was doing too much. She looked me straight in the eyes and said, \u201cVince, this cannot be about you. What will happen at the end of two years, after you leave? This has to be sustainable. You have to make it sustainable.\u201d I had always been described as a charismatic, transformational leader. I was able to motivate people to do more than they had done. WHY on earth was she concerned? I began reflecting however, and she was right. Sure, the people were working hard and we were achieving, but were they learning? Did I have a succession-plan in place? To whom would I hand the torch? I brought this up in our next project-team meeting, and one member suggested that we begin operating on the \u2018meteor-principle\u2019\u2013that was, what if one of us were hit by a meteor tomorrow? It was a difficult revelation for me that I wanted to hold onto the torch.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nixhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/three-simple-rules-2.jpg?w=819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">There are three essentials to which we must adhere when delegating. First, I must assess my tolerance for mistakes. I shouldn\u2019t have to double-check everything. If there are capable people working with me, I should coach those people. I must allow them to undertake and develop higher levels of responsibility. Second, I have to be able to identify the training needs among my reports and discern between two types of needs: developmental potentials and critical flaws. If I can facilitate the development, great; if a person isn\u2019t a fit for that particular task or project, reassign. Third, the organization\u2019s values, my values, and the values held by the prot\u00e9g\u00e9 must be compatible\u2013not exactly the same\u2013but compatible.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nixhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/compound-of-five-tetrahedra-1.jpeg?w=819&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Delegation is one of the most important leadership qualities that will strengthen the organization. Conversely, refusing to delegate is one of the quickest ways to move an organization from \u2018functional\u2019 to \u2018dysfunctional\u2019 by eroding and eventually destroying trust within the organization. When we learn and practice this business tactic, we improve our organization\u2019s ability to grow and survive. The beauty of delegation is that by showcasing the individual and collective qualities of my team, I earn their loyalty and support\u2013but most importantly I cultivate two-way trust. Think of it this way, an organization of tetrahedral leaders, connected together by strands of trust, is a hardy entity indeed!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the second post in a series, defining my personal leadership model, \u201cThe Leadership Tetrahedron\u201c.
