Delegating in the workplace involves ensuring that employees own the problems they present to you, rather than transferring 'monkeys' to your desk. By setting clear expectations that the employee owns the problem, scheduling specific times for assistance, and maintaining the understanding that their problems are their responsibility, a culture of accountability and skill development is fostered. This approach allows for the identification of capable employees who can handle responsibilities, leading to potential promotions, while also filtering out those who are not suitable for their roles.
