commitment, thereby leading to accomplishments above expectations (Bass and Avolio 1990). A direct correlation exists between emotional intelligence and transformational leadership (Hunt and Fitzgerald 2013).
2.4.7 Delegate Tasks Whenever Feasible
The art of delegation is an indispensable quality of every successful leader. Andrew Carnegie (1835−1919) asserted, “No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.” Delegation is the process of assigning responsibility and authority to someone at a more junior level for accomplishing objectives (Lussier 2008). Good communication skill is the keystone for a successful delegation. The process of delegation involves three steps (Karmakar and Sarkar Datta 2012):
1 Assignment of work: A task is clearly communicated to the delegatee and deadline is set for completion.
2 Granting of authority: The delegatee understands that he is fully responsible and in charge of performing the delegated task.
3 Creation of accountability: The delegatee recognizes that he is the one to accept credit or blame for the results of the delegated tasks.
It is notable that giving others responsibility without authority is a delegation destined to failure, and it makes the delegatee to feel that he is being taken advantages of or that he cannot be trusted (Bixby 2016).
2.4.8 Establish Priorities
The businessman Carlos Ghosn attested, “The role of leadership is to transform the complex situation into small pieces and prioritize them.” As difficult as it seems to prioritize short‐term (daily and weekly) and long‐term (monthly and yearly) actions or to‐do lists, it eventually all comes down to practicing a simple discipline on a regular basis: As you begin your day, oblige yourself to itemize all you desire to accomplish on that day. Repeat this task every day, review the list regularly, and also write down a general to‐do list for the upcoming weeks, months, and the year ahead of you. Without having such to‐do lists, your ability to prioritize your actions is trivial. Once a to‐do list is at hand, the next step is to prioritize actions. The key to prioritizing the action items is that it should be executed by thinking about the most crucial outcome that you are looking for, not by focusing on the nature of tasks itself (Kush 2009). The author and motivational speaker Stephen Covey has asserted, “Effective leadership is putting first things first.”
