191. How To Ask A Colleague To Do a Task: Effective Phrases For Delegating

Published 2 years, 11 months ago
Description

Do you work on teams and have to ask your colleagues to do tasks? Do you ever feel uncomfortable because you aren't sure if what you are saying is too rude or direct? I've worked with many people that feel this way and it is completely understandable. You may already be working with office politics and then on top of that you don't want it to sound like an order. In this episode I take you through different phrases you can use from more direct to indirect.  Enjoy!
