The Art of Delegation REASONS WE DONT' DELEGATE Fear, insecurity Not busy enough Lose control Too busy Not a team player Not my job description Lose of trust in staff Like to do it yourself, you can to do it better / faster Not organized by J.B. Tomlinson

The Art of Delegation THE ONE MAJOR DELEGATION OBSTACLE How and why to delegate tasks you KNOW you can to better than anyone else. YES, you can do it better, perhaps. The question is: Can they do it well enough? Second, just because you can do it better, is there any reason you should keep on doing it? You might be able to sweep the floors better but that's no reason to do it. Perfection may not be necessary for this project. If they can do the project 80% as well as you can, get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars! FINALLY, if you never let anyone else have a go at it, you never give them a chance to learn and you will be stuck doing it FOREVER. by J.B. Tomlinson

The Art of Delegation THE FOUR CORNERS OF DELEGATION 1. RESPONSIBILITY- assigning to others full ownership of results to be obtained. 2. ACCOUNTABILITY – define the exact results the delegator is expecting and asking the individual to obtain. 3. AUTHORITY – the granting of power, freedom and the right to act within established guidelines and parameters. 4. CONTROL – progress reviews and follow-up - specific deadlines - decided by both - build in a cushion - how and why intervention will be necessary by J.B. Tomlinson

The Art of Delegation THREE ASPECTS OF DELEGATION PLANNING – sit down and discuss with all involved INITIATING – assign, set benchmarks, establish deadlines CONTROLLING – regular checking, know where it's at – control documents by J.B. Tomlinson

The Art of Delegation PROPER CONTROL What to do when you've carefully delegated a task, then it comes back wrong and you are fuming. Ask yourself? Did I communicate my expectations? Did I maintain checks along the way? Was the person properly trained? If your people fail, it's probably not their fault. Take a hard look at yourself before you go to them! by.J.B. Tomlinson

The Art of Delegation by J.B. Tomlinson I had the opportunity to work with and learn many lessons from J.B. Tomlinson. J.B. said, “it took me over 20 years to see this project completed” and I was glad to be a part of his mission. J.B. was a very unique individual who wanted to share his knowledge about delegation and good management with the world. After spending over a year working on his project, there came a day when we had made all the adjustments, edits and hours of getting this presentation just the way he wanted it. We launched it June, 2014 and then in July he was gone. I remember before he passed away, we were at the first event where we were able to sell the DVD's. Phoenix Tomlinson his grandson got the first copy that day and Geoff Tomlinson his son was busy managing the event. I was standing beside J.B. as he made his first sales and stuffed $20 bills into his pocket, He had such a sparkle in his eye,a smile only he could smile, he had success in his eyes and it was great to see. J.B. was dedicated to assisting us in proving our concept, “Turn Knowledge into Profit”, turning J.B.'s knowledge into a tangible asset for profit was a great accomplishment and one of our proudest projects. J.B proved our concept and now we would like to share his knowledge with the world. We are now offering his wisdom for FREE, however, I know he developed this project to make money for his children and grandchildren so if you would like to send donations to them let me know. - Mark Ironside The Art of Delegation by J.B.
