Many leaders make the mistake of delegating something too early and then get frustrated when the task isn't completed to their satisfaction.
Your capacity to delegate, however, very much depends on the person's skill level and motivation. I adapted the model of situational leadership to create the following matrix I used in my last training program.

When skill and motivation are low (common for administrative/operational tasks and junior employees), you have to be very instructive about how to do something step-by-step.

When skill level is low but motivation is high, until they build up skills, the role of the leader is one of a coach who guides the employee, helping them recover when they make a mistake, cheering on them when they do something well.

When skill level is high but motivation is low, the leader's role is to sell the project in order to increase motivation levels, "What's in it for them?", why is it important and relevant?

Motivation is high and skill is high? Time to delegate and step aside!

This year I had several women reach out to me to share their concerns about exceeding expectations at work and getting almost no recognition for it. This is what I call "The Good Girl Trap": Doing all the dirty work, taking on more responsibilities and being told to wait because "this year was tough" or because "you're almost there, but maybe next year." Bosses love having the good girl around and don't feel pressure to promote her.

There is an easier way to escape this trap and get others to see you as an invaluable resource they must work hard to keep. You need to strengthen your strategic influence skills and build the right network.

At this point I have helped tens of women to get bigger roles, more confidence, more money, higher results and recognition from their peers and superiors and I am confident I can help you too.

Influence is about selling yourself and your ideas more effectively, in the short term and in the long term.

Kamala Harris just gave us a practical lesson on how to handle interruptions.

It was a whole different ballgame than last week in the vice presidential debate, but one side still seemed to keep running more afoul of the ref.
