Ten Tips to Master Delegation

Ever feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get it all done? You’re not alone.

We asked our members if they found delegating at home and work to be challenging and a resounding 70% reported the answer to be yes! 

One of the biggest misconceptions about delegating tasks is the fear of pushing responsibilities off onto someone else who might not do it as well as we would have done it. To maximize your time, try to think of it differently:

Delegation is: 

• A skill of prioritization
• A way for you to do more valuable work while giving someone else the opportunity to take on more responsibility
• Splitting tasks among different people and perspectives - resulting in a higher quality of work.
