If you have the resources, you could even send your employees to a conference or seminar. Monitor your employees to see if they are struggling to meet their work demands, especially if you work in a rapidly changing industry. Delegating helps you get more work done and creates a well-trained workforce. Once a task has been assigned, trust that employee to complete it without you hovering over them. For example, allow problems to work their way up a hierarchical chain before they reach you. This will empower your employees to make more of the day-to-day decisions. Stepping in to help an employee who truly needs direction is not the same as micromanaging. Good bosses remember that their employees aren't just cogs in a machine. They have goals, too. Know what your employees are working toward, and help them get there by assigning tasks and trainings that best suit those goals while also supporting your organization. Invest in your employees, and they'll invest in you. Supporting your employee's goals can help you retain your best employees rather than see them walk away to another company.
