Delegating means assigning responsibilities to other people. It doesn't mean that you assign some tasks to other persons; it means that you trust people whom you give the responsibility to complete the assignment. So, if you are a team leader you can simply empower the enthusiasm of your employees to work by delegating some items to them. Here are several steps you need to follow while delegating and making assignments to your employees:

• While delegating provide your employees with support by giving all important information and resources that can help them in accomplishing their task or a part of the project.
• Choose the right person. You need to be sure that the person you selected for delegating, have all important knowledge, experience and skill levels to perform good results.
• Describe your requirements, needs and the importance of the task you delegated to your employees, so he/she has a clear picture of the things that are expected from his/her work.
• Reward your employees. As by rewarding you don't only motivate them for their future work, but also show them your respect and this is very important to grow the level of their enthusiasm for accomplishment more and more.

Following these steps, you will learn how to delegate to your employees effectively and empower them.
