However, Ricky is currently working on another project and will need to enlist the help of one of his employees Bill Harmon. In order for Ricky to be an effective delegator, he must follow five delegation behaviors. Clarify the Assignment Based on Ricky’s current workload, he is aware that preparing the new procedures manual will need to be delegated to Bill. Bill has the experience and knowledge to prepare the manual and the ability to do so. When Ricky meets with Bill, he will need to clarify the assignment.

...manager. In most cases, managers with strong delegating skills will match the perfect task with the right employee. In this essay, Team B will analysis and discuss the Ricky Lee scenario using the five behaviors used by effective delegators. Ricky properly chose and delegated the task of writing the department’s new procedures manual to the most capable person. There are three reasons the delegation executed was proper. The first reason is that Ricky went to his supervisor, Anne Zumwalt, asking permission to assign and entrust a third party with the responsibility of completing the manual (Robbins & Coulter, 2012). Secondly, the third party Ricky selected was Bill Harmon, who had three years’ experience in the contracts group (Robbins & Coulter, 2012). Lastly, Ricky set up a meeting with Bill to ensure he had all the parameters of the task and the time restraints that Bill would be up against (Robbins & Coulter, 2012). The meeting illustrates Ricky knows it is important for Bill to know what is expected and in what timeframe those expectations should be complete.

...Chapter 7 Case Study Part 1: Cami Machado, Trainer One of Cami’s other tasks, in addition to implementing the black box technology, is to ensure that everyone affected by the system changes will be trained well in advance of the implementation. As such, she is responsible for “training the trainers” or “train-the-trainers” sessions as they are called. Being at the center of the change and having taught Information Technology courses at a local university in the past, she feels well prepared to lead the train-the-trainers courses on new data security procedures for Listo Systems. She is eager to conduct the first session and has spent two weeks preparing large, detailed manuals rich in statistics and flow charts. The professional trainers in her first class do not share her enthusiasm. Although it is obvious to them that she loves her job, their general evaluations of the course were poor. Comments from the trainers included “lots of smoke but no fire,” “talks down to us,” and “I still don’t have a clue what is expected of me and the people I will be training.” Although Cami expects these comments from the very first train-the-trainers course, her manager realizes that something needs to be done immediately. Cami routinely represents Listo Systems at an annual Computer Graphic Service Trade Show. This show is well attended by virtually all of their clients. Because of the changes they are making in the way that they will receive and send jobs to and from their clients...
