"In his role at the conglomerate, which specializes in engineering, steel, construction, and industrial services, Roberts is responsible for minimizing workplace risks and serious incidents. He told ZDNET he uses technology to proactively manage potential issues, such as implementing PSI AI Advisor from Benchmark Gensuite, which uses natural language processing and AI to automatically extract and summarize details from incident reports and safety observations."
"Delegating responsibilities means Roberts has more time to explore pioneering technologies. He said effective delegation involves a two-stage process: building comfort and letting go. "You've got to feel comfortable that whoever you're delegating the task to is capable of taking on the responsibility," he said. "Once you feel that the person receiving that responsibility is set up to be successful, you've got to trust and go.""
Effective leadership requires delegation so executives can concentrate on strategy and long-term business goals. Delegation involves passing responsibility to senior professionals who can step up when leaders step back. Delegates must be capable and set up for success before responsibility transfers. Technology can help manage and summarize issues, for example using AI tools to extract details from incident reports and safety observations. Delegation can free leaders to explore pioneering technologies and focus on minimizing risks and serious incidents. A useful delegation process includes building comfort with the delegate and then trusting them to proceed. Delegating early allows leaders to proactively manage potential problems rather than being mired in operational tasks.
