自分でやったほうが早いから抜け出して業務を引き継ぐために試した3つの方法

Three methods I tried to get out and take over the work because it's faster to do it yourself

What made me want to break out because it would be faster to do it myself

In the first place, when I wanted to break away from the idea that ``it would be faster to do it myself,'' my motivation was ``I wanted to get promoted.''

In order to get promoted, I wanted to take on a slightly bigger job than my current one, so I needed to start by handing over the tasks at hand to someone else or streamlining and simplifying them.

Even after I was promoted, I was assigned a job that had more responsibility than before and had a greater impact both inside and outside the company, so I needed to acquire the skill of ``handing over work to someone else.''

I believe that if we settle for the idea that ``it would be faster to do it ourselves,'' we would end up doing the same work forever, and we would miss out on growth and opportunities, so I decided to take this seriously.

Creating a manual

A manual is like a guidebook that summarizes the order of work, precautions, and operating methods, and is very useful when handing over work.

There are two main ways to use such a manual. The first is to create it yourself when you are taught a job, or have the person who taught you create it when you teach it to someone else.

Second, use it as a guide to reduce the risk of mistakes and avoid omissions in handovers.

We will explain in detail how to use it.

Create it when you learn a job, or have someone create it when you teach it

The most effective time to create a manual is right after learning.

When you learn a job from someone else, by creating a manual immediately afterward, you can make sure that there are no omissions or unclear points in the information that has been passed on.

I also feel like I can remember things faster because I simulate the work in my head by writing it down. (Experiences)

The most recommended thing is to have the other person create a manual when you take over or teach the work.

By looking at the manual created by the other person, you can check how much you understand and what is unclear, and you can re-teach them.

Many people who think it would be faster to do it themselves are probably not good at teaching. Please have your partner create a manual and review your own teaching methods.

Use it as a guide to reduce the risk of mistakes and avoid missing handovers, etc.

I think the original use of the manual is to use it as a guide.

If you just take over the work, people will come to you every time they have questions, and you might end up in a situation where they say, ``I told you this before! It would be faster if I did it.''

To prevent this from happening, by creating a manual, you can have a record of what you have taught once, and you can pass it on in fewer times and in less time.

Even if the person receiving the training is nervous at first, having the manual at hand will allow them to work with peace of mind, so it is recommended that you create a manual or have one prepared for you.

create a flow diagram

We recommend creating a flow diagram so that you can get a bird's-eye view of the roles you are responsible for in the job you are requesting.
Even if I do my work point by point, I can't deal with irregularities and end up asking questions here and there, so I'm careful to understand the context before and after the work I'm handing over.
If you understand the flow, even those who have taken over can make decisions to some extent, Since you can check with someone other than yourself, you can prevent situations where you are asked questions even if you want to take over.

Evaluation and set

If you just hand over or take over the task, the other person will also be in trouble. The other person also has a normal job, and if they feel like they were forced to do something, it may be the reason why the handover doesn't go well.
You need to tell them why you are taking over the work and how you will be evaluated by doing the work.
Discuss with the redundant person in advance and arrange so that the person taking over the task will be evaluated based on the task. It is also important to tell your superior what new things you can accomplish by handing over the task.
