Abstract

Proper use of delegation in any setting is an essential component of leadership. This paper examines how delegation used by managers in a real estate office can improve the results management gets from their staff, by not only assisting in the task completion process, but also by improving the team oriented atmosphere of the office and staff.

Conclusion

From the Paper

"A great leader in any setting, but particularly with respect to a real estate office, delegates by assigning responsibilities to others and allowing the person assigned the task to make independent decisions regarding the outcome of the assignment delegated. The lack of delegation ability in a manager is usually the result of a manager's inability to let go of personal control and effort in certain situations, particularly stressful situations.

Delegation most often fails when a manager is not able to set priorities and clear their plates of tasks that can be delegated. More often than not delegation does not work effectively when a manager feels they must take on more responsibility rather than assign tasks to effective and capable employees to help clear the work load. Many managers mistakenly adopt an authoritarian leadership stance which often leads to resentment and resistance as employees in a real estate setting are not given the opportunity to work cohesively as a team, build trust, and help each other achieve the greatest possible good for the organization as a whole."
