"Delegation is a great symbol of leadership."
- Unknown
Learning to lead is learning to TRUST others. The difference between being a great individual and a great leader is your ability to begin GIVING AWAY some of your responsibilities, while still seeing them be completed.
How difficult is it to let go? VERY. How difficult is finding success when you do all the work? IMPOSSIBLE.
Face it. You are going to have the START trusting other people to take care of some of your most treasured tasks, and then FOCUS on what produces the most, most effectively.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
START SIMPLE.
We all understand that "letting go" is very challenging. To begin to learn to trust and manage – start with something small.
Maybe you could delegate away your expense reporting. It is simple enough to VERIFY all your expenses were done properly by matching receipts after the report is completed. Possibly, you could give away your database management. It should be SIMPLE to see that all your contacts are updated and information is complete via random testing.
The key is to IMPLEMENT some step of delegation. Try anything you are comfortable with and build from there. Remember, as much as you FEEL like you have to do it all… your ability to ACHIEVE more is directly impacted by your ability to get more HIGH LEVEL activities accomplished.
Cheers,
Zach
