It's a great post. Something I believe could be added is that sometimes a leader isn't able to pick the "best people" for the jobs. As a leader you should delegate to the strengths of the people you have. You can't give a task to someone if they don't know how to complete it. That only takes your time and theirs. Instead, find what things would be appropriate for the individual and assign them it. They (and you) will be much more effective and a lot happier. If you really aren't able to give a job that plays to the individual's strength, find a way to use them, coach them, or team them up with someone so that the task is completed and they can achieve it on their own.

A good leader should communicate expectations, goals, benchmarks, deadlines, etc. Business IS communication. You don't pass the buck. As Truman had that little sign on his desk: The Buck Stops Here. As delegator, you take responsibility for those you delegate. If they make a mistake, the mistake is yours, so eat it up. Best be open, honest, and very clear, or your reputation (or job) is on the line. And Tyler’s comment on communication is key.

You must delegate to the right people; to those who demonstrate dedication and also ambition. I have been lucky to have a great team of employees who have both traits, and now they do half my work for me. It took a great deal of work, and believe me, I suffered through their innocent mistakes. But now, our contract renewals run like clockwork, and everyone benefits. This is a great article, so thank you, Brett and Kay. Sunil is right: Delegating is difficult. You must delegate to the right people; to those who demonstrate dedication and also ambition.
