Systems make delegation easy - so what's stopping you?
As businesses become more complex, we realise that we can’t do it all.
As teams become larger, we understand that we need to share the work across the team. We need the right people doing the right work.
There’s a simple answer - Delegation. We know it, but delegation doesn’t come naturally to everyone.
Let me show you a secret to help you with more effective delegation - having your system mapped and documented.
I’m not talking long, boring procedures, but workflows and instructions that outline the system, to get the work done, to the quality you require.
When my business grew, I engaged a virtual assistant. I documented procedures and honestly; I didn’t get it right the first time.
Sai my wonderful VA had to ask for clarification on most processes before we got it right but the benefits are that now I am free to focus on the high-value work (and the work I love).
The key is to start.
Mind map your systems and then test them, it probably won’t be perfect the first time.
When you can, involve the team and get a broad range of perspectives about how the system does, can and should work before writing your procedures, then share and communicate, review and adapt.
If you are struggling to delegate, look closely at your procedures, and get them right.

The Quality Networking Group - are you ready to progress your career in quality?
Many people working in quality experience overwhelm as the scope of the job gets broader, lack of buy-in, frustration with a compliance mindset from leaders, and lack of commitment and accountability for quality across the organisation.
The group supports people working in quality and is created to build a professional network raising the profile of quality as a profession, not just a job.
Personal and professional development is so important and I have experienced the benefits of supported peer learning and the advantage this type of group has compared to traditional training.
You can access information about the membership levels and benefits here.
