In this week’s video blog our expert guide, Don Hadley, discusses how critical it is for leaders to take responsibility for the success of their teams when they are not in the office.

The only way to develop the people that work for you into independent, self-sufficient leaders is to clearly communicate the deliverables necessary to run your organization. Make certain that these deliverables are written down, part of the job descriptions, viewed as tactics for success. Your employees must understand that their evaluations, pay increases, accolades and promotions will be measured against their successful accomplishment of those deliverables. This is critical if you want your team to function and grow when you are not around or on vacation and to also increase and continue your success when you retire.

Some questions to consider:

• Do you have clear deliverables for the responsibilities and hand-offs within your organization?

• Do your employees understand that they will be evaluated against these deliverables?

• Are the leaders and people working with you able to function, move projects forward and prosper when you are not around?
