Tip of the day

When delegating tasks to team members, be explicit on what you are “asking” them to do. Do you want them to review the documents and provide feedback, or do you want them to edit and finalise the documents? Instead of simply forwarding the email with an FYI, tell them what to do with it -”no action is needed” or “add a calendar reminder.” A clear “ask” can expedite the completion of tasks.
