Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Effective delegation is a large of a manager's position. Physician executives are expected to be skilled delegators and able to lead team efforts to meet larger organizational goals. Delegation should be a five-step process: (1) Describe the results you want; (2) Listen for suggestions about how the task should be done; (3) Give autonomy and freedom to accomplish the task; (4) Follow up; and (5) Give feedback and credit. This column explores the art of delegating and how to assess your skills in this key management area.
