Answer 21:
The first step that I would perform before allocating task is to familiarize myself with the workplace as quickly as I can to soak up all the information about the company, its policies, and culture. Reviewing all the records of all team members is important to understand the set of skills each obtains in their respective field. Meeting with the team members and having an open discussion about the previous tasks & results, given task, its importance and objective is essential as the group is a tight-knit one the approach where the team members allot themselves specific task due to their skill sets and knowing the limitations of others is the key to delegating this task effectively.
