No I in leader? The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say I . And that s not because they have trained themselves not to say I . They don t think I . They think we ; they think team . They accept responsibility and don t sidestep it, but we gets the credit . This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done. Peter Drucker 4 D E V E L O P I N G E X C E L L E N C E T O G E T H E R

Set the culture for delegation Create a cohesive sense of values and direction within the team. Don t let your colleagues think you know all the answers. Don t be a hero ask for help. Transfer some of your own decision-making powers to others. Share responsibility and accountability with colleagues. Coach colleagues to give them confidence in their own abilities. Provide supervision and resources to support the team. Explicitly recognise where delegation is already happening (e.g. financial management). Set up processes and systems that explicitly include delegated tasks and responsibilities. Ensure procedures manuals are in place. 11 D E V E L O P I N G E X C E L L E N C E T O G E T H E R
