    Abstract: Delegating work often goes awry. The software doesn't work, the invitations aren't sent out on time, or nobody shows up to staff the trade show booth. Or the work is done on time, but at the expense of team member engagement. When a project fails or just plain doesn't match your expectations as team leader, it's usually your fault. This insightful report examines the best ways to delegate work so that you not only end up with successfully completed tasks, but also a team of cheerful people- including a cheerful you. Through interviews with more than two dozen management authorities-executives, managers, leadership coaches, advisors, and authors-author Esther Schindler takes you on a journey through the process, pitfalls, and rewards of delegating work to others. Adopt a managerial attitude: learn how to cede control and trust your team Understand empowerment: know what, how, and to whom to delegate tasks Assign tasks sensibly: delegate objectives and clarify expectations Check on a task's progress: learn how to provide communication and support Judge the results through a mentor's eyes: praise your team and cope with failure

    Abstract: Like any committed organization, your company wants to attract and keep loyal employees who are creatively productive and engaged with their work. And those workers want to be appreciated for the job they do. This report shows you how to align both goals, with guidelines for a powerful process that's often undervalued: one-on-one meetings between managers (or team leaders) and the people in their charge. Author Esther Schindler explains that one-on-one meetings can help managers break down barriers, give and receive useful and immediate feedback, and ultimately build team loyalty. With the best practices in this report, you can transform these meetings from an irritating waste of time into a valuable "special time" for both workers and managers. Learn why one-on-ones are important for developing trust, aligning tasks, and mentoring Conduct these meetings as a conversation-and don't be afraid to be personal Make the process work by scheduling recurring meetings and building in follow-up Get guidelines for what (and what not) to talk about during one-on-one meetings and for dealing with tricky situations and negative feedback Judge your success with a checklist for self-assessment Esther Schindler is a longtime tech industry journalist who's translated geek-talk into English since 1992. She loves to explain how technology can, indeed, improve the quality of life. Find her on Twitter at estherschindler. Bring chocolate.

    Abstract: There's no question that the goal-setting methodology OKR (Objectives and Key Results) helps companies achieve substantial goals-just ask Google, LinkedIn, and Twitter-but some organizations have struggled to make it work. This O'Reilly report explains how companies use OKRs to create focus, unity, and velocity within their teams, and how your company can succeed with this methodology. With examples from several companies, including Google, Duxter, and Zynga, author and consultant Christina Wodtke walks you through the process of selecting short and aspirational objectives, along with difficult-but-achievable key results to quantify each objective. You'll also learn how to inspire team members by baking OKRs into the daily and weekly cadence of your team. Create team objectives that are qualitative, inspirational, time-bound, and independently actionable Quantify and define the success of each objective with three key results Adopt OKRs to help your team achieve focus, alignment, or acceleration Learn a practical method for having your team choose objectives each quarter Track and evaluate OKRs through weekly confidence ratings, Friday "wins" meetings, and end-of-quarter grading Introduce OKRs in your organization gradually to help your team master the process
