As we know, delegation is the assignment of authority to another person (normally from a manager to a subordinate) to carry out specific activities. It is the process of distributing and entrusting work to another person.

Delegation is both a blessing and course DEPENDING on how a person applies it to his or her team.

In this podcast tips segment, Sarah Jane shares with us how she and her husband co-founded AVCreativity Studio and talked about delegation - how important is it that we delegate and how much freedom it can actually give us when delegation is used at its maximum capacity.

Challenges in Task Delegation

00:01:24
Speaker
Let's talk about delegation because delegation is something that you can easily do.
00:01:29
Speaker
Sometimes, there are tasks that you think it's not easy to delegate it to someone because you think that you're the only one who can do it properly.
00:01:38
Speaker
How did you go about that?
00:01:40
Speaker
How were you able to bridge that?
00:01:42
Speaker
Yeah.
00:01:43
Speaker
Oh my gosh, to be honest, I'm the most affected.
00:01:49
Speaker
Because I am very perfectionist in nature and I wanted everything to be perfect and organized.
00:01:55
Speaker
And that is actually my struggle all the time.
00:01:58
Speaker
Because my feeling, actually it's all in your head.
00:02:02
Speaker
The feeling you just...
00:02:04
Speaker
Feeling mo lang na ikaw lang ang tayong gumawa niyan.
00:02:07
Speaker
Because you cannot, you don't allow room for failure.
00:02:11
Speaker
Sometimes kasi sinasabi mo, ay, inyo ko po, hindi pwedeng magkamali.
00:02:15
Speaker
Hindi pwedeng magkamali.
00:02:16
Speaker
When I give it to other, parang minamaliit mo yung ibang tao na, ay, hindi niya to kaya.
00:02:22
Speaker
Kaya ko lang to butin niya.
00:02:23
Speaker
You are surprised when you actually delegate it to someone else.
00:02:27
Speaker
Kasi sometimes they are so much more better than you.
00:02:30
Speaker
It's just your mentality that is telling yung, ako lang ako ng kaya nito.

The Art of Delegating Client Communication

00:02:38
Speaker
But there are things naman na it's only you.
00:02:41
Speaker
Especially when it comes to communication with your clients.
00:02:45
Speaker
Yes.
00:02:46
Speaker
So those are the things that it is only you.
00:02:48
Speaker
It is so hard to kind of like delegate that to someone else.
00:02:52
Speaker
Because nobody loves your business more than you do.
00:02:56
Speaker
And then even if you swelduhan mo yan sila ng napakalaki, if it's not their business, their heart is not in it like you do.
00:03:05
Speaker
They may love it but not so much like you do.
00:03:08
Speaker
You may love it.
00:03:09
Speaker
cry your heart out of it, you know, your business.
00:03:13
Speaker
But when your business fails, they'll hurt you but not so much like you.
00:03:19
Speaker
So when it comes to delegating, you're just open-minded.

Deciding What to Delegate

00:03:24
Speaker
There are... We can't do other people.
00:03:27
Speaker
It's just you, you're just you.
00:03:30
Speaker
Stop the mentality.
00:03:32
Speaker
And there are things, evaluation.
00:03:34
Speaker
What are the things that I can assign to others?
00:03:37
Speaker
What are the things that I have to do myself?
00:03:39
Speaker
Which you said, kasama na yung with the clients.
