1. NOT UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TASK
不了解任务的重要性
Before you can delegate a task， you have to be clear on it. Too often leaders give an employee something to do without having a deep understanding of the task and its impact.
委派任务之前，你必须要有清楚的认识。领导者往往会让员工去做一些事情，却对任务及其影响没有深入了解。
2. MAKING AN INCOMPLETE REQUEST提出不完整的請求
When you delegate， make sure you are providing enough information. Experts suggest writing down the steps before meeting with your employee to prepare for your initial delegation session.
委派任务时，请确保你提供了足够的信息。专家建议在与员工见面前，把步骤写下来，为任务分配会议做准备。
3. FORGETTING TO SET EXPECTATIONS ON ACHIEVEMENT
忘记设定预期成果
When you delegate a task， be sure to define what success looks like.
委派任务时，请务必明确成果。
When will they be done？ What does achievement look like？ And who has to be happy with what’s achieved？
如他们什么时候应该完成？成果应该是什么样的？谁应该对成果表示满意？
4. MISSING REGULAR CHECK-INS
缺少定期检查
Too often leaders fail at delegating because they think of it as a “set it and forget it” exercise.
很多时候，领导者布置的任务失败了，因为他们把委派当成了一个“设置遂忘却”的练习。
5. OVERLOOKING KNOWLEDGE AND KUDOS忽视知识和表彰
Throughout the project， leaders should be mindful of the process. There should be debrief lessons from the assignment. Are there things we learned while we were completing it？ What can it tell us about the future on what we should do again， and what we would do differently based on what we’ve learned？
在整个项目中，领导者应该注意这个过程。要有任务汇报，在执行过程中，学到了什么？我们之后再做可以了解什么？以及根据所学到的，会采取哪些不同的做法？
And don’t forget to acknowledge the employee’s contribution.
而且，不要忘记肯定员工的贡献。
