Here's how you can advance your career in the aviation industry through delegation.

Delegation involves clear understanding of Aviation business as without sufficient knowledge, delegation will invariably be with lack of sufficient resources, etc. Another truth is that without delegation it is not possible to survive in a complex and management intensive business like Aviation.

Here is the deal. You have to let go to let your people grow, and let your business grow. Make sure you understand what your team are capable of for sure. Start there with competence. You need to then help them grow by delegating beyond your own comfort zone and theirs. This stretch will increase capacity but carries some risk. Hence the need to understand competence. Think of the risk like glass balls or rubber ones. You cannot let the glass ones drop, well not too often. The most important thing everyone in the delegation chain needs to learn is when they don’t know and how to ask for help. Look out for each other but remember that the best way to find out if you can trust someone is to trust them, and then be there for them.

Well in the current fast paced environment with stiff competition, the most important thing is to have the right people beside you, aviation is mostly dealing with live environments and eventually part of a global supply chain network. To understand the complexities is one of the most important things, breaking down the tasks and getting other to do them in an integrated way to take advantage in the big picture seamlessly is not less than an Art, mostly following pre-defined SOP’s & reporting channels it may very easily be delegated, still knowing correct check points & having first hand knowledge is the key to this whole effort.

Delegating functions is not something to make our work more comfortable. You must have a good knowledge of the professionals in your work team, to ensure that the delegated function is fulfilled according to the company's objectives. You should not delegate to get rid of a function, it should be followed up through participative and cooperative leadership. This will generate more confidence in the delegates and they will feel the support of the leader in their development. A leader who has a trained team capable of observing functions through delegation, can acquire greater responsibilities, it is the best type of effective and cooperative leadership.

El liderazgo debe llevarse además con flexibilidad e interacción humana con base a las necesidades no solo laborales, sino necesidades básicas de tus colaboradores, ya que ellos sienten el apoyo y el interés por su bienestar integral.

Trust is an important element when it comes to delegation. Without trust, if you delegate, there is always a suspicion of something going wrong. Trust involves transparency, giving feedback at right time, simultaneously recognising good jobs done.

Trust is the foundation of effective delegation. Establish credibility by consistently delivering on your commitments. Delegate tasks to capable individuals, and show confidence in their abilities. When trust exists, collaboration thrives.

Trust is the cornerstone of delegation. To build trust, be transparent with your team, provide clear instructions, and support them in their roles. Trust fosters a positive work environment where employees feel valued and motivated, leading to improved performance and loyalty.

Trust while delegating increases confidence and imparts knowledge to handle unexpected.It also builds mutual respect by bridging gap of experience.Finally it adds to higher professionalism.

Trust is everything. How to reach a level of trust? It is essential to know the work team. A good CRM will give us tools to consolidate trust. But we must remember that trust feeds itself, just as the organization goes from the bottom to the top, it is also from the top to the bottom. Trust the second in the commands as well as the pilot in the commands each other.

Let me call it self-management, as it is the same time that is given to all. So, self-management is very important. Doing something extra would always involve additional time. You need to see where from you cut down your time, squeeze out more to do in same time. Delegation comes in handy.

Time management is all about organising yourself and your work to make the most out of the time you have. Good time management doesn't mean you do more work, it means you focus on the tasks that matter and will make a difference. Learning how to manage your time effectively will help you feel more relaxed, focused and in control.

A gestão do tempo é uma das características do profissional que é capaz de otimizar as suas tarefas e prioridades fazendo com que a sua rotina mesmo sendo corrida, se torne mais leve, melhorando a sua produtividade.

Effective delegation significantly enhances time management. By distributing tasks appropriately, you can focus on critical aspects of your role, reduce stress, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. This efficiency not only boosts your productivity but also sets a strong example for your team.

Effective time management is essential. Prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance. Delegate routine or less critical tasks to free up time for strategic thinking and decision-making.

Encourage professional growth in your team. Delegate challenging assignments that allow them to learn and develop new skills. Provide necessary resources and support. Empowered team members contribute significantly to organizational success.

When you delegate it is imperative that you back the delegate if trouble arises. If you throw them under the bus at any sign of trouble - your team will fall apart and you will never be trusted again.

Delegation is not just about assigning tasks; it’s about empowering your team. Provide the necessary resources and authority to make decisions. Empowerment encourages innovation, boosts morale, and helps in the professional growth of your team members, creating a more dynamic and capable workforce.

O conhecimento é a capacidade humana de entender, aprender e compreender as coisas, além de colocar em prática o que se aprende. O ato de capacitar pessoas pode ser comparado ao dom de elevar seres humanos; fazer com que desenvolvam habilidades que vão ser levados para a vida e aplicados no ambiente de trabalho.

Empowering others through Delegation leads to more trained manpower,better work environment and more economical.It gives an opportunity to hone the skills and finally adds to experience levels of employees.

Regular feedback is crucial for continuous improvement. Encourage your team to provide feedback on your delegation methods and their experiences. Constructive feedback helps you refine your approach, address any issues promptly, and maintain a collaborative and open work environment.

A melhor maneira de Feedback é mostrar os pontos positivos, manter a escuta ativa e pontos de melhoria ajustados para uma meta alcançável.

Seeking feedback is very important in any team work. The feedback helps to know not only progress of the work but also to establish requirements related to men, material and software and infrastructure to accomplish the task. As aviation is high cost and high precision job needs macro and micro monitoring to ensure on time delivery, cost control and of course with desired quality assurance requirements. Additional in process monitoring and obtaining continuous feedback is required whenever any job to be undertaken with risk or safety of material or men involved. The similar case is whenever acceptable alternative methods are adopted to accomplish a task.

Seeking feedback is an essential part of effective delegation and career advancement in the aviation industry. Regularly asking for input from your team after delegating tasks helps you understand their challenges and successes, enabling continuous improvement. For example, after delegating the task of developing a new flight schedule to a team member, solicit their feedback on the process and outcomes. This open communication not only refines your delegation skills but also shows your team that you value their opinions and are committed to their professional growth. This collaborative approach strengthens team dynamics and enhances your leadership profile.

Periodically reflect on the outcomes of delegated tasks and your overall strategy. Assess what worked well and what didn’t. Adjust your delegation practices accordingly to improve efficiency and effectiveness continuously. This iterative process ensures that you and your team are always evolving and improving.

Reflecting and adjusting your delegation strategies is crucial for career advancement in the aviation industry. After completing a delegated task, take time to evaluate what worked well and what could be improved. For instance, if you delegated the coordination of a runway maintenance project and encountered delays, analyze the reasons and consider how communication or resource allocation might be improved next time. This reflection helps you fine-tune your approach, ensuring more efficient and effective delegation in the future. Adapting and learning from each experience demonstrates your commitment to growth and continuous improvement, enhancing your leadership capabilities and career prospects.

The aviation industry, both at an administrative and operational level, translates into: Whatever your knowledge is, whatever your result will be... whatever your training will be, whatever your performance will be.

You cannot delegate your advancement in your career. You can focus on personal and professional improvement. Take responsibility for your own behaviour and be in the right space at the right time.
