Tips to Delegating Effectively

Hi! I find that in delegating tasks I often find myself wondering if it is taking me longer to delegate than it would to complete the task (at least in my mind). I’ve also found that as soon as I start delegating, policies and procedures I thought were sufficient suddenly seem like there is ALOT missing to explain what needs to be done and how so it gets done correctly. Does anyone have any tips to delegate effectively?

Thanks,
Nadine
