As work becomes more and more complex, engaging employees in generating new ideas that solve business challenges is critical for any organization. Managers can no longer rely on their own expertise to get work done and find themselves having to supervise work that requires collaboration among different parts of the organization. They also need to get work done with less and ensure that those who are performing the work have the necessary skills to execute the tasks. Delegating is a powerful tool for achieving all of these managerial challenges. And yet, for many managers, delegating is a challenge.
