I had originally delegated a task to an Asian woman. Not only did the task never get done, it was delayed by 2.5 years, before I had to come in and finally fix everything, put it all back into place. When i probed the different parties involved, this lady just could not be bothered to talk to or relay any communication with anyone else. Hence her lack of communication caused a breakdown between the other two parties. She just assumed everyone else would take care of the problem, and magically talk to each other. The end result, is that nothing was done, and the worst part is Asian lady ended up getting mad at me, for not doing a good enough job following through ... on the mess she created. Seriously, the diversity shit is pissing me off more and more. To show you just how ridiculous this is, she couldn't do anything in 2.5 years, i fixed the problem in 2 days

Something I learned managing people. Always make them give you a schedule for any project that takes more than a few hours. If it's longer than a couple of weeks make them give you milestones, too. Then check up on their progress weekly. Record their progress in case you need the records for disciplinary action or dismissal. It's important to make them give you the schedule because it insulates you from claims that you set impossible goals.

Shit, that's just common courtesy, I regularly provide updates of my progress, because my people have people they have obligations to, so them knowing what to expect from me allows them to plan their obligations accordingly.

A goal without a deadline is just a dream.

An assignment isn't the same thing as a goal.

If I tell you I need you to produce the TPS report that's not a dream, but if I tell you to produce the TPS report by 2 pm Friday that's a different thing.
