There are always employees waiting in line outside my door for my instructions. My phone and mobile phone are always ringing. Even at night, I dare not turn off my cell phone, because even at night, someone always wants to see me. "

This is a true portrayal of an extremely incompetent manager. He can't get rid of many affairs. He can't control others at ordinary times. The typical problem of this kind of managers is that they don't know that authorization is a lesson that managers must learn.

No one knows the importance of authorization better than Carnegie, the American steel magnate. Because he chose this sentence for himself as an epitaph:

In fact, no excellent manager is not a master of authorization. The higher our position is, the bigger our enterprise is, the more we need to learn to authorize, or your enterprise will not grow.

Only trust has authorization.

Another reason why the manager is unwilling to authorize is that he is afraid that his subordinates will screw things up. When I told managers that we should learn to decentralize, many people responded that it was not that I didn't want to decentralize, but that people around me were too incompetent to delegate to him. But if you don't delegate power to your subordinates, they will have no chance to grow. So many managers are caught in such a negative cycle: I dare not authorize, so subordinates will never have the opportunity to do bigger things. He can't grow up because he has no chance to do bigger things. I can't authorize him because he hasn't grown up yet.

The only way to break this cycle is that we, as bosses, have the courage to take some risks. Many times we need to close our eyes and give a great event to a subordinate, although we are not 100% practical in our hearts. If we do this, we will usually get two results: in most cases, we will find that our subordinates will repay our trust with 120% efforts, and the result will far exceed our trust and our imagination! We will be surprised to find that human potential can be so great! The reason behind this may be a western proverb: when God gives a person a difficulty, he will also give him wisdom to overcome it (think positively! )。

Sometimes, what our subordinates do is not what we expect. Even at other times, the mistakes of subordinates will make us suffer a lot. But in this case, we can also find that our subordinates have matured because of such things, and they will do well next time they do similar things.

Admittedly, Licensor must understand two things:

On the one hand, some things cannot be authorized, and some things must be done by themselves;

But the more serious problem for China managers at present is that they will not authorize, not over-authorize.
