Discussion Response to Leslie

As a leader, especially in the field of nursing, task delegation is very critical for getting things done effectively and in a timely manner. You have to be familiar with your team or co-workers and know what each of their strengths and weaknesses are, so that you are delegating them the correct task. “Successful leadership means picking the right people for the right assignments and developing them” (Manning 2018, pg. 323). In the workplace, in order to get things done, the leader has to delegate task to ensure that all of it gets done, and that it is not left to just one person. If one person of the group, like the leader, is reliable for getting all the task done the outcome is not going to be in his or her favor. More than likely, success will not be met. Manning (2018) says that delegation is not just advisable but also that it is necessary for success. Real delegation is when a leader assigns responsibility for outcomes along with the authority to do what the group needs to produce the desired results (Loyd, 2012).
