Alex, You really need to look beyond whether or not your should delegate a project. Further consideration should be given to whether the employee will benefit from the delegation. Does the responsibility for the task add to the individual's professional growth? Knowing the professional growth needs of your staff helps you to determine the kind of task that would be beneficial. It has to be delegation which is a win-win rather than dumping a task that you simply don't want to do. Once a task is delegated, it is your responsibility to follow up periodically to make sure that appropriate progress is being made. Ultimate responsibility for the successful completion of the task continues to rest with you, the supervisor.
