如何分派工作任务？

When you’re juggling a lot of different work-related commitments, delegating tasks can be a key component in keeping yourself sane and getting everything done in a timely manner. Not everyone can do it all, and the right help can be invaluable. Here are a few of its suggestions along with a few of my own.

当一个团队需要同时应对很多工作任务时，委派任务是及时优秀地完成任务的关键。不是每个人都能很好地分配任务。以下有一些有关如何分配任务的建议。

Pick the Right Person

选择合适的人选

I’ve worked at a number of places where work was delegated based on seniority rather than who would be the best person to handle the job. Before delegating a task, consider who on your team has the skill set necessary to complete the task. Maybe that person is a senior member of the staff, or maybe they’re a new hire. The key here is to assign Tass based on the person, not their position.

在分配任务之前，需要考虑团队中谁才是拥有完成任务所需技能的人，这个人有可能是职位高的老员工，也可能是初出茅庐的职场新人。关键在于根据人而不是资历来选择。

If it’s a task that doesn’t need to be done ASAP, consider having another employee work with that person who was best-suited for the role. Next time you need something similar done you might have two qualified people to choose from.

如果人手充足，或是工作时限不那么紧张。可以让另外一名员工与这个最合适的人来共同完成这项工作。这样，在下次遇到类似的工作时，就会有两个合适的人选了。

Be Specific

明确工作内容

It’s easy for things to get lost in translation when you’re passing them off. Try to be as specific as possible when communicating your needs so the person handling the task knows what you want and is able to do things right the first time.

人和人在沟通时，很容易会漏掉或者误会一些信息。所以，在沟通的时候，要尽可能具体地向他人表述你的需求，这样处理任务的人才能知道你真正想要什么，从而做得又快又好。

Set a Deadline

设定时限

Even if you don’t have a specific “deadline” for a delegated task, come up with an arbitrary one that you give someone the first time you pass a responsibility their way. A reasonable deadline can make sure the task doesn’t get forgotten and can give you a good idea of when you can expect the work to be completed.

就算是工作本身没有特定的截止时间，你也应该为处理任务的人设定一个。合理的截止时间，能够让任务不会被遗忘，并且可以让自己知道工作何时可以完成。

Provide Feedback

提供反馈

Whenever you delegate a task, be sure to provide feedback to the person who completed it once it is done. That means offering positive feedback for a job well done, and constructive criticism for a job that could have used a bit more love. Positive feedback will encourage that person to do a good job again in the future, and constructive criticism can help iron out any kinks that came up.

无论何时无论何种任务，在任务完成后，都要向完成任务的人提供反馈。对于出色的工作提供积极的反馈，对于有待提高的工作提供建设性的批评，可以在未来的工作里有所帮助。
