Even experienced leaders can make mistakes when delegating. Some common pitfalls include:
Micromanaging: Hovering over employees and not giving them the autonomy to complete the task can be demoralizing and counterproductive. Insufficient Instructions: Failing to provide clear, concise instructions can lead to confusion and errors. Delegating Only Unwanted Tasks: Constantly delegating only the mundane tasks can make employees feel undervalued. Lack of Follow-Up: Not checking in on progress can result in missed deadlines and incomplete tasks.
