Abstract
Russell Sy, managing director of a company that develops and manages business parks in the United Arab Emirates, learned how to delegate effectively from watching others. “I am fortunate to have a top-notch direct supervisor,” he says. “Constantly observing her delegate, motivate, and manage for results has taught me a lot.” But, like all of us, Russell has had both positive and negative experiences with delegation.
