In this new world of cloud computing, virtual worlds and virtual teams working together to reach common goals, not only acquiring the technical skills for managing these new kind of projects is necessary.
Soft skills and specially the ability to delegate in such an environment is crucial too.
And it is important to acquire the skill of delegating to people that you actually do not see from your desk or could even never meet in person. If you are working from home, or part of your team is, it is important to realize that delegating to these team members is also possible.
Put in place and use any communication channel to make this possible and easy...chat, voip, whatever works for you. Create an atmosphere where "virtual delegation" is made possible.
Also realizing that delegating (or outsourcing) repetitive tasks or tasks that do not need your personal continuous decisions is easier than ever. Even if you are a freelance working alone? Yes, many sites offer the possibility to outsource these tasks. And you will find smart people that could do things for you while you are concentrating on adding value to your business or doing that little extra to be ahead of your competition.
