When Should Leaders Delegate the Task of Initiating Contact?
While it’s beneficial for leaders to initiate contact personally, there are scenarios where delegation is more practical:
1. Scalability: In large organizations, it’s impractical for leaders to make every initial contact. Delegating to team members ensures scalability. 2. Expertise: Sometimes, a team member with specific expertise may be better suited to initiate contact, especially in technical or niche areas. 3. Efficiency: Delegating routine or administrative outreach tasks allows leaders to focus on high-priority interactions.
