Delegation
Leading on from time management we're going to focus on the importance of delegation.
If your pharmacy is to make the most of HLP it is essential that you as the leader are able to let go and delegate tasks to others within the team.
Delegation is a key skill when managing people, but it can be one that we sometimes struggle to embrace.
A team exists for one reason – because a job is too large, complex or fast moving for one person to do on their own – so make sure you utilise all your resources.
Why delegate?
“You can do anything, but not everything”. 
Essentially the benefits of delegating include:
- Freeing up time for you to spend on important tasks
- Builds a team through morale and performance
- Decisions will be taken nearer the front line
- Develops people in the team and builds their skills
