Understanding the team and delegating the tasks properly within the team acknowledging the talents and requirement will enhance productivity with enhanced quality. Let me share with you one such true story where proper delegation saved one country from a great disaster.
There was substantial deforestation during World War II, followed by intensive reforestation during the 1950s to 1970s. The reforestation emphasized sugi and hinoki plantations, even cutting natural forest to make plantations. Japan's switch to imported wood, fossil-fuel energy, and chemical fertilizers for agriculture, in full swing by the 1980s, eliminated the demand for forest products from satoyama secondary forest and greatly reduced the demand for sugi and hinoki. There was no reason to continue managing the secondary forest, which is now undergoing natural ecological succession and the loss of many plant species adapted to the open and well-lighted environment of managed forests. Many sugi and hinoki plantations have fallen into neglect because the thinning, pruning, and other care necessary to produce high quality timber do not seem worth the effort.

This story of forestry in Japan is not intended to be
authoritative or complete. The evolution of Japanese forests during the past
three centuries has been complex. The main point of the story is that Japan
adapted to a deforestation crisis in the late 1600s by changing from
unsustainable forest exploitation to managed and sustainable forestry.
Adaptation featured a tipping point that turned the nation from ecological
disaster toward ecological health, restoring a natural resource base that put
Japan in a strong position for its economic development during the Twentieth
Century.
Numerous other societies, past and present, have not been so
fortunate. Past civilizations with a deforestation crisis collapsed if they did
not make the change from unsustainable forest exploitation to sustainable
forestry (Diamond 2004). There are also numerous places in the world today that
are suffering because they did not make that change. Particularly tragic
examples are Haiti, which is trapped in inescapable poverty due to deforested,
eroded, and unproductive landscapes; and North Korea, where deforestation,
floods, and resulting crop damage have been responsible for famine in recent
years.
Positive Change can be brought about only when you properly delegate your tasks,works and projects.Whether your organization is nucleus or wide..proper delegation always give enhanced results and there by one can also properly utilize the talents available with greater accuracy
